I Burn Fat While You Burn Gas

Driving is expensive. Gas costs lots and tune-ups are rip-offs. Parking downtown is often impossible and sitting in traffic sucks. This is besides the obvious environmental problems driving exacerbates, or our country's little oil addiction, which (arguably) is a healthy kick to our "keep the Middle East in turmoil so we can take advantage of its resources" reflex. The only real reason to drive anywhere in Lawrence (at least in the areas students frequent -- campus, downtown, student ghetto, East Lawrence) is that it will get you there faster than walking or riding a bike. Or is it faster? Nate Martin reports.

What I like about this one is that it simply takes the phone as a blog toll rather than self-consciously writing about the process. What I don't like about this one is that it simply takes the phone as a blog toll rather than self-consciously writing about the process.

Since you have some room down the left side because of this supersized vid format you came up with, maybe you could actually add enough self-conscious reflection about the tool to fill up the column beside the video.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A motion picture? That's indescribable. I thought that the quality of the final product made it painfully obvious how well the camera phone worked. I could scan a crayon-drawn diagram to spell out my exact conclusions, but I don't think it would add much.

I'm curious as to the make and model of your phone. The quality of both video and audio were better than most.

Ah. And now we have the pride of product endorsement clearly spelled out, at least in the comments, AND the layout apparently fixed. I am at peace.

What layout fix? Also, what happened to the lady's comment who inquired about the phone model?

What kind of blog are you running here, Rick?
