Hi Viatologists,
Yay! The Worldwide Highway Library (WHL) has completed its migration to her new web-interface. You may now see all of our photographs, videos and WHL-360 captures of the road. From 1999 to 2008, our contributors have captured 2,184 photographs, 135 videos and 9 WHL-360 captures: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com You can see everything, ranging from country roads in Americas--be that State Routes, Federal Routes or county tributary. See slides of the Mount Blanc Tunnel and see the main street of Liechtenstein. Take in a video of Mexico Federal Route 45 (en español) or watch a drive in snowy Calgary. Stand on a Silicon Valley highway (virtually speaking) and turn around in full 360 degree motion, when you decide to take "the spin"! That's how the WHL encourages life w/o borders: you have the luxury of seeing three continents from your computer's screen. Of course, that's no substitute from the real deal... Travel and travel well! Our new interface allows you to zoom from a 10,000+ metre glance, figuratively speaking, into a regional view of the country whose highways interest you. After two months of sleep deprivation, researching new web scripts and telling loved ones "I'm busy!" or "...In a minute!", I'm happy to say your new interface will help guide you towards the place you want, in the media format you want. For now, me needs mucho sleepy... Cheers, Carl Rogers "Adding human experience to transportology" ******** Calrog.com, Worldwide Highway Library: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An integrated media arm in International Transportation Research.

You sure make a heck of a lot of noise for such a trivial small amount of content. 2184 is only 273 photos a year, and that is with your supposed world-wide network of contributors. I would have thought that someone who posts multiple updates notices each day would have 20,000 or 30,000 photos by now. BTW, what percent of those photos are in focus...8%? Higher? Lower? -john- -- ================================================== ==================== John A.

I came for the Etta James references, and so far, I've been disappointed.
