This video combines two things I love: Yosemite and time-lapse. Enjoy!

SNA — PDX Trip
My multi-purpose business-personal-conference-fun trip is over. I flew from the Orange County Airport (SNA) to Portland (PDX) yesterday afternoon. For some unknown reason, I ended up in first class (honest, I didn’t ask for it, but it was a wonderful birthday gift).

Virtual Touring
Sometimes I want to be somewhere I’m not. Today, it was Yosemite. Fortunately, there’s a high-tech solution: virtual touring.
Here are a few of my favorite resources.
Google Maps Directions Google Street View Google Earth Web Cams Flickr
There are many more resources you can use for virtual traveling.
Do you use the Internet to “travel”? What are your favorite resources?
Update (2/15/2010). Here are a couple more resources I should have mentioned:
- Twitter — Chances are, there’s someone on Twitter tweeting about the location you’re interested in. Tweeting about the location likely will result in your being followed by that someone. For example, I tweeted about Yosemite and was soon followed by @THEYosemiteBlog. Doing a people search for Yosemite resulted in a lot more hits.
- Blogs — Finding blogs about a certain topic is easy. Google’s Blog Search or Technorati are great resources to find blogs.
