Disappointed there's no full epiosde this week, but the new camera seems to be working very well. Clearer, more resolution, better contrast, better color. Handles light level changes better when you move in and out of shadows. It's a keeper, I'd say.

New summer looks would be cool. The shades are a good start. Ravi, how about a buzz-cut? :)

I agree with Mr Joe C. This new camera definitely handles the lighting from dark and light and back alot better.

Good look Ravi and Sonya! Matrix meets Boston. ;)

Have a good Memorial Day weekend!

Hi Ravi,
Well, it seems like you just answered my question. 'When will DriveTime be 'widescreen'. As always, nice work - you are indeed top shelf.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing/viewing this video?

joe c -- we'll see if/when we roll the new camera into full service. Still debating wide-screen vs. full-screen.... Re: the buzz-cut, we'll have some answers in the next episode (the kick-off to the DriveTime Summer Season!)

lehsa -- we've returned from the Matrix (ie. holiday weekend).

bjhokanson -- some day, some day (I fear).

--f -- I take that as a vote of yes for wide-screen?

hey jonnydock! I am having some problems today downloading. I'll check out what's going on over at archive.org and report the problem. They've been having some performance issues lately (it was working fine for the weekend). Thanks for the notice!

I keep trying to download the episode, but nothing happens and I keep timing out, which is disappointing. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, since I'm here, I just wondered if you might have an episode or two where Sonia was the lead (driver?) and Ravi took the Ed McMahon/second banana role.

ray -- it seems that the file was moved over to another server on archive.org. I've updated the link -- it should work now!

Not sure why things have been... uh... kind of dodgy with archive.org lately.

Ravi,
you have to expect anyone who hosts your files for free will have issues... archival site or not.

Is it Friday yet? O_o

It's gotta be wide-screen, yo?

You wouldn't happen to be related to the geography bee champion, would you?

Ravi,
Indeed - it is a vote for Widescreen. Oh, by the way we're getting you guys loud and clear here in Australia.

Thanks all for the widescreen votes... we may transition for the fall kick-off of DriveTime.

Oh and duckofprey -- no relation to the geography bee champ! I'm just one of many, many (many!) Jains.
