Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

 

Peter Baldes and Marc Horowitz are taking a road trip together. Only they’re not going anywhere. And they’re not together. How fun is that? Er, wait, maybe I’ve explained it wrong. The pair is sepperated by a couple hundred miles, and couldn’t really find the time to take off, but that didn’t stop them from configuring a virtual road trip in which they are joined by webcam as they continually click along the drive arrow in Google’s Street View and are joined by a chat room of hitchhikers who urge them to pass the real-time with road-songs and car games. It’s everything you’d do on a real road trip, less the gas money, speeding tickets, and lot lizards.
