Personally, I like the bourbon theory ;)

But no, Nathan's right, it "waddles" and isn't exactly the most stable camera platform. It'd challenge even the likes of Turbo I bet, hehe!

Heres my video for the day.
Imagine driving on the Autobahn in Germany doing a leisurely 150km/h and you see this.

Dumb: Texting while driving. Dumber: Texting while driving a bus with passengers and plowing into stationary traffic.

What a knobhead!

And Yes, I occasionally look at my phone while driving, but I try to avoid it, or do it when stopped at the lights.
Even that is illegal though.. :(

A friend of mine drives for Path Transit, and he will let his phone ring out if it rings, and then check it at the end of his run, which us the safe thing to do. Switching it off, or silent is best, so you don't get distracted by the ringing.

Same. If it's urgent, they'll ring again real soon and I'll pull over. I don't turn it off because I would forget to turn it back on and the supervisor would get annoyed :-)

...better yet, I have hands free so if someone calls I can answer, if they text I'll open my phone press the middle key and the dial key twice to dial and then they can tell me what they texted me.

Not random, but this was the place I used to live a way back. By co-incidence I was travelling up the coast through here the day it happenned. The fire came screaming out of Kuringai Chase NP (3rd oldest in the world) and they stopped it before it jumped the hill and impacted on Berowra. That aircrane really can move.

Brooklyn is a small hamlet on the side of the Hawkesbury river and had a Cat 1 and a fire barge.

The golf course was at Asquith several suburbs to the south (about a three minute aircrane journey)

OK it's not YouTube and I'm definitely not at work at this time of night, but if there's any night-owls awake, the Space Shuttle Atlantis is due to lift off and head to the Hubble Space Telescope in the early hours of Tuesday morning... (2:01am Perth time to be precise).
