As I posted about a few weeks ago, Jeep bought twenty-two photos from Cherie and I for its "Have Fun Out There" advertising campaign.

It looks like they ended up using thirteen of them. Can you find them? (Click here for the answers...)

This mosaic ran as a huge two-page spread today in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The LA Times, and The New York Times.

It will run again in the same papers on 8/24.

Coolnees, eh?

Personal Historical Note: The last time one of my photos was featured inside USA Today, the front cover photo was of the World Trade Center collapsing. This time around, the cover photo is of a herd of buffalo - in South Dakota! Hmmm....

A few weeks ago I was contacted via Flickr mail by Jeep's PR agency:

You have some great shots! I especially love the ones of your Tab and Burning Man! I sent you an email a little while ago about using some of your photos in a Jeep ad. You're photos have a great feel and show the true spirit of Jeep.

Coolness! And to think I was just about to let my Flickr Pro account expire...

Ultimately, Jeep decided to buy 20 of our photos (including many taken by serolynne) for their upcoming "Have Fun Out There" campaign.

They just sent me details on the first print dates:

08/03/07 - New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal
08/13/07 - New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal

Though the photos will be just thumbnail size, this is still pretty exciting. Here are my favorites of the twenty that Jeep picked:

My voice has been echoing around the Internet and the airwaves lately.

Simply Digital Podcast: When I was passing through Nashville in December I met up with my friend Michael Ashby, and he took the opportunity to interview me for his technology podcast "Simply Digital". That show has at last been posted online, and in it we have a great chat about everything from my travels, nomadic life, mobile technology, and Burning Man.

Episode 12: Interview with Chris Dunphy

This week, the Simply Digital gang take their first podcast “on the road”, even if they only made it as far as the driveway. Chris Dunphy, a self described technomadic flying geek, happened to land in Simply Digital “studio” for a quick interview.

Chris is the former Director of Competitive Analysis for Palm and then PalmSource — in other words, his job involved traveling the world, meeting interesting people and buying every interesting gadget he could get his hands on. A geek’s dream job to say the least.

He has always had a passion for travel and when the opportunity presented itself to pursue that passion and spend a year or so just traveling, it was an opportunity he just couldn’t pass up. So lately Chris has been traveling the United States and using all kinds of different technology along the way.

Lucky for us, Chris stopped by for a few days and we were able to record an interview with him. This recording was made inside Chris’ Tab Trailer as the rain slowly fell outside.

GeekSpeak on KUSP / Podcast: This past Saturday while out visiting California for a week, serolynne and I drove down to Santa Cruz to spend some time with my old GeekSpeak crew. I knew that they intended to have me on the air as the featured guest, but Cherie was taken by surprise when five minutes before airtime Lyle asked her to also guest-star. What fun!

Wyatt prepares to stand in for his dad as host of GeekSpeak at KUSP in Santa Cruz.

NPR: GeekSpeak is being picked up to be hosted by npr.org as an official National Public Radio podcast - and we've been told that this past week's show is the first one that will soon go live on NPR's site. Cool!
