1. Was that a bird? Or random bits of trash?
2. Glad to see there are stupid drivers in places other than california.
3. You move pretty fast. Bet you could have skipped that coffee altogether
I had to laugh when you hit the birds! I hit a part of a large bird that had been hit by another car last summer. The part of the bird was a large wing which at first I thought was a piece of fabric until I got close. Then it hit the bottom of my car and flew out back in feathers. My son & friend were behind me in his pick-up truck towing his SCCA Honda CRX. They were laughing their heads off!

Ok, a few points of interest I noticed….

Yes, that was a bird. Three of them, actually, but I think I only hit two. Did you see me duck?
We definitely have our share of stupid drivers here, that’s for sure.
Don’t let the looks fool you; I might be moving quick, but I’m more zombie than Schumacher at that hour (that was a 5:30am departure).

I duck when I saw those birds too, that was scarry.

What do you use to speed up your video? Last I checked you needed FCP (but it’s been a while)

There’s an effect in iMovie HD that speeds up the video. It’s not perfect; I wish I could speed it up more. But it’s good enough for now.
I’m hosting with TextDrive and howe, my server, seems to get overloaded a lot.

Hey!
Awesome ride video – what’s the music?
And what’s with the bird hatin’? They screw up your code somehow?

The song’s “Last Living Souls” by the Gorillaz.
I don’t have anything against the birds. They seem to have it out for me!
