Hewlett Diary: Do you have any examples of weird wonderful or inspiring tales of adventure on YouTube? I happened to witness the departure from Toronto of The Penny Farthing World Tour: http://calloftheroad.smugmug.com/ ...and was so intrigued that I looked him up! What an adventure that guy is on...on what looks like a terrifyingly unstable and uncomfortable means of transportation. I've also watched a few videos from RickVanMan: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ee0c5sX4I_I4r3FSIFbcQ and loved hearing about his "dropping-out" of the day to day rat race and enjoying the gorgeous UK countryside. And the Zapp family who wrote the book "Spark Your Dream" as they traveled the world for over a decade in an old car! http://www.argentinaalaska.com/ But it got me thinking about the kinds of amazing lives and travels that we get to share here on YouTube. I've always been a huge fan of motorcycles and motorcycle documentaries or books on the subject...loved Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance and just about anything I could find on riding in the Paris Dakar rally. Not sure that it's something that I'd jump in to, but it always fascinated me. The idea of being so completely isolate and yet sharing it with the world...first through books, then film and video and now YouTube. The personal connection to this and other tales of adventure online really adds so much to the experience. And of course big thanks to Marcia at The Bell New Media Fund for getting me those amazing Slugterra weapons: http://bellfund.ca/
