    My word is waze

    http://www.waze.com/
    This app seems pretty cool and you can’t beat the price.
    It might be fun to give it the “GeakBeat” road test and also give everyone something to do other than asking, “are we there yet?”

    Regardless, I love the show. It’s fun and informative and the out-takes always make me smile so Thank You for all that you do.

    Safe Travels,
    Carlos

  54. Kevin P. says:

    OK, work “Indubitably” into the video, and say it correctly the first time.

  60. Dallas J says:

    Tell us about/show is an odd skill everyone has! (yeah it isn’t tech related but it is fun and mixes things up!)

  61. I want one!

  62. Tyler Pearson says:

    You can talk about how the g connect or slim provided you with ease of access to hours of movies and music during your journey across america. Along with maybe how easy it was or if possible to stream content on those devices to the multiple screens in the Escalade.

    “Dont be zero be a G with G-tech.” G-tech drives make it easy to carry hours of video and music on your next road trip in an enclosure slighty bigger then a cell phone. So those 4 dreaded words arent all you hear for hours on end. “Are we there yet?”

  63. C R Williams says:

    Quick steps to make a video game.

  64. Bernard Walton says:

    An introduction of a nationwide wireless mesh network with both open and secure connections. No I don’t care if it’s called skynet. If the topic leads to mass shared computing well, we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

    As for now check out inSSIDer wireless mapping software. If you were to set it up on a netbook with 802.11B/G/N and compile a list of all the wireless networks it saw on the trip that would be interesting. Color coded maps showing most hotspots and highest speeds would even be better.

  65. Ray says:

    A few ideas:
    1. phrase – “The three amigos!”
    2. concept – Appear lost…someone brought the “ACME” brand GPS or GPS app…”that brand never worked too well for Wylie Coyote!”
    3. concept – Ask people for directions, with scripted answers like “follow the wireless brick road” and “you can’t get there from here” and “you’re so lost you might as well be on that (Lost) island”.
    4. concept – Gilligan’s Island -The skipper, Gilligan and professor on a road trip.

  66. Ray says:

    phrase – “I’m beginning to think this is the sequel to “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”.

  67. Ray says:

    “I’d give almost anything to be able to teleport back to the Enterprise right now…Beam me up Scotty! Pleassssse Scotty!!!!”

  68. Andrew D says:

    “Checkmate”

  69. Flemming Jacobsen says:

    “Winter is coming”

  70. HBiede says:

    Bow Ties Are Cool!!! [Doctor Who RULES!!!!]

  71. Ray says:

    When you encounter traffic – “the only way this super highway could be slower, would be if it was owned by ATT.”

  72. Ray says:

    concept – “Just in case we pass an America’s Got Talent audition on our trip, we’ve put together our own act”….(then try to dance not quite in step together or sing off key or in horrible harmony or rap, etc)

  73. Jeremy says:

    G-Drive is nice…

  74. David Larsen says:

    Phrase to use:
    BFF “Best Friends Forever”

  75. Juerg says:

    Phrases:
    * “Whatever YOU need – The (name it here) it THE tool for you”
    * “If summer is not good enough for you …”
    * “Read my lips: No ugly stuff can be stored on this device”

  76. MonkeyHanger says:

    Just Saw those awesome pillars in the various languages, what languages do you know other than American English? How about throwing some other languages in the middle of a sentence?

    You make my Gesäß itch……

    Watching is Spain and enjoying the trip, keep on truck’n.

  77. You guys are the best love the great acting (lol). Keep it up.

  78. Carlos Peronet says:

    Some stops after MD…could include a Philly Cheese steak or a visit to the Jersey Shore to search for Snooki but don’t be saying “forgetaboutit” cause you are due in NYC…we are all counting on you!

    Safe Travels,
    Carlos

  79. Dave Ladner says:

    You simply MUST! play leapfrog!

  80. Matt Herrera says:

    Phrase: “I’m freaking out, man!”

    Idea: Escalade LAN-party
    Idea 2: Do a bit, silent film style where words are mouthed, but text is shown

  81. Jendi says:

    Does Mark know Kumbayah? :)

  82. Michaelg says:
