Wild Celtic said...: Let Amy know she's not alone in disliking bridges! Gorgeous from afar, but I get nervous when I'm on them and especially if I'm parked underneath them. You've got a great trip ahead of you!! Inspires me to keep track of my travels whilst I'm in Manchester next week. Virtual travel journal sort of thing; 26 May 2010 at 12:27

About Fat Dog

Fat Dog to the Big Apple is, in part, an exercise in virtual reality and, in part, a pleasant but meaningless diversion. Bored with walking his slightly overweight Wheaten Terrier, Amy, around the same grey streets of West Yorkshire, even more overweight writer and blogger, Alan Burnett, decided to let his mind wander where his feet could not. The two therefore embarked - with the help of pedometers, interactive maps and all the information resources of the limitless World Wide Web - on a virtual reality journey from Los Angeles to New York.

Their daily walks on the streets around their home town of Huddersfield in the UK are plotted on a map and the Web allows them to sample all the sights and sounds of the real-time traveller. But, how rich is the web's information resource? Can this web-based resource support the virtual travellers on their entire epic journey or will the intrepid pair eventually wander into an information black hole? These are some of the questions the project is designed to address.
