An adventure is simply an inconvenience rightly considered.

Rob's African Adventure!!!

In 2006, Rob Rutherford left for the adventure of a lifetime...and almost didn't come back!!!
But he did and afterwards he and his friend Jarret compressed his +3000 photos into a video slideshow, consisting of 1000 of his favorite photos, and a few video clips here and there.
This video is up on the web (forever preserved by the internet archive project) for your viewing pleasure.
Now for a few words from Jarret, the videographer:

Rob's African Adventure video slideshow:
URL -- http://www.archive.org/details/IdlyByeRobsAfricanAdventure (Right-click save-as on QuickTime link)
Runtime -- 1:46:25
Size -- 786 MB
Format -- QuickTime H.264 (a recent version of QuickTime should play this without a hitch)
Approximate estimated download time -- 4 hours.

My apologies for the long download time. It is a long video and I squeezed it down as much as I could without sacrificing quality. Archive.org provides the file hosting for free, and they are constrained for how much bandwidth they can give. Another benefit Archive.org provides is, shockingly enough, archival. So theoretically, this link will still work for decades to come. I encourage you to become aware of the project and consider donating.

By the time you read this Rob will have a bunch of DVD copies of the slideshow as well. If you would like a copy, talk to him. They are NTSC format, which means they will only work on North American DVD players/TV sets.

There is also a drinking game you can play whilst watching the video, so as to make the slideshow more entertaining and to keep people from becomming disinterested, though i don't know who would, i mean, its a slideshow all about Rob, and who doesn't like Rob?!?



Enjoy!!!
Rob
