My first on-the-road podcast, July 16, 2004.

As the name implies, I'm driving on Interstate 25 in New Mexico between Truth or Consequences and Socorro.

Two days since downloading email. Different times. Wifi is scarce as are cellphone signals in 2004.

2004 nerd heaven: iPod, Nikon Coolpix camera, laptop, USB connection to camera, power adapter that hooks into cigarette lighter (cars used to have them).

Remember it's 2004, long before ubiquitous connectivity. But I still don't have cell coverage where I live, in 2024, it's not everywhere yet.

A week later I'll be at the DNC in Boston.

Didn't get my email in Socorro. Apparently no net connectivity to be found. The old days.

I talk about taking pictures, but I can't find them. They should be on davetravel.scripting.com, which was previously hosted at Berkman, but I moved it to my server when I left.
