    Ah, the curious uses modern technology can be put to. Latest in our pantheon of heroically individualistic tech expression is Nick Newcomen, who took his car, his trusty GPS module, and a Qstarz BT-Q1000XT Bluetooth data logger and went road-trippin' through 30 different states. His goal? To inscribe a message to the Google Earth-viewing public, imploring them to "Read Ayn Rand." Rand herself might arguably have preferred it if Nick had used the railways to perform his transcontinental homage, but that's just nitpicking really. Skip past the break for a few videos from his journey.
