hey peeps,

so this is totally off-topic, but i thought i’d share it. awhile back I made a driving vid b/c I had wanted to take one last ride on my city’s Alaskan Way Viaduct. driving north on this double-decker freeway offers spectacular views of the city of Seattle – you get the city skyline coming at you in 3-D on the right and on the left, our “Squidport” waterfront, bay and majestic snowcapped Olympic Mountains in the background.

anyway the viaduct is old, falling apart and a deathtrap, similar to the portion of the 880 double-decker freeway that collapsed during the big San Francisco/Bay Area earthquake. the city was scheduled to tear down the viaduct this summer but didn’t. whatever.

anyway i thought that i would record this drive. i was just driving aimlessly with no real direction.

so if u want a random tour of my city, check out this vid. (some sights are annotated in text bubbles.)

also warning: long vid and my mix CD is a mix of pop, rock and electronic.
