Thanks for posting that, Ben. I hosted a great Kentucky Artist on the radio show a few years ago who is doing good work in this area. www.mitchbarrettmusic.com. during the interview he spoke about it, raising awareness of the problem.

Jonathan, I have had no problem viewing. I do have to pause the video and let the buffer get way ahead and then hit play. So my suggestion is to pause, go make some tea then come back hit play and enjoy both your tea and video.

Yes, a GPS would be wonderful! I'm a biker too and frequently get lost. I was real nice meeting you at Cafe Nudord in San Francisco! I'm hoping that you get a phone call from Fiona Apple. You two would make an incredible machine! Cheers! ;~D
