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

That's all??? 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?

I wouldn't bet too much on it...the OP isn't exactly using the usual
MO for the DQE.

Not to mention that many of his photos are just of the shield or some
other obscure feature. His WHL does little to tell us much about any
of the highways he features.

> BTW, what percent of those photos are in focus...8%? Higher? Lower?


I'd say lower.

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

2183 photos? Total? That might be like half my backlog. 237 per year is
mighty paltry. I've put up better than 1000, and it's just February.
