Roadcasting with webcams, streaming, 3G and Skype

Roadcasting. Joel Moye, a South Carolina truck driver, streams video and IMsJoel's Adventures - cropped while driving in the American South. Friends read chat room comments to him over Skype. You can follow his GPS. If nothing else, it makes the road less lonely.

Toolkit: a laptop, the Gateway Notebook Model: MT6728. A CabCam visor facing the driver's seat and a visor mount looking forward through the front windscreen are dual Logitech QuickCam Communicate STXs. Garmin USB 18 GPS Cable with GpsGate Installed. Connectivity via an AT&T PCMCIA Laptop Connect Card (Sierra Wireless Aircard 875) and USB Connect (Sierra Wireless USBConnect 881) 3G Wireless Broadband. Justin.tv for streaming the audio and video.

Roadcaster video and chat

You can also follow Joel on twitter for his presence ("I'm broadcasting live to my Justin.tv channel! Check me out at www.justin.tv/joelmoye?59").

Others roadcast too. Patriot Certified Pilot Cars, New England, and Certified Pilot Cars ("The Master Roadcaster™"), Florida, stream video so clients can see how they safely escort oversize and wide load trucks down the road.
