Virtually every picture showing the full Earth derives from one photograph taken in 1972. Yet hardly anybody notices this.

Wed, 20 Apr 2005 12:07:08 GMT EVDO StompBox Projectvia Kjell Olsen2590 days agoImpressive linux box running broadcasting a wireless signal with a verizon cell data card to give an always connected link, even in the middle of nowhere.
The weekend of April 15 two of us took the system along during an 800mi drive through the high deserts of Southern California (Mojave and areas near). I’m quite surprised how far 1xRTT covers! We had continuous data for >90% of the trip. If the connection was re-established within 2 minutes (not hard when driving highway speeds) established TCP sessions resumed without worry. The only time we had extended data losses were when we stopped behind blocking geologic features (hills, ridges, etc) that kept us from seeing the nearest cel tower.
Also with gps and an ultra cool web app to google map the car’s exact location at any time… sweet. Also a camera to show where you are.
This should be good for security situations. If you point a camera inside at the driver’s position (from, say, the headliner or dashboard) you can make the video router start recording upon motion-sense. It would constantly upload the results to an offsite server along with timestamp and GPS coordinates. Even if the thief ripped the system out it would get a few good frames of him/her and store them offsite. If the equipment is hidden correctly it’ll give live GPS tracking and video to help with retrieval of the car.
Man, this stuff is cool.
