Adam, assistant editor of 32:07, gives us a brief update on the post-production process. Cory and the edting team believe it’ll be around six weeks before they find out whether or not it was accepted. During the waiting period, Cory says they’ll be going over footage to put together a trailer.
Sand sculptor, Brent Terry, recenly made this sculpture of a hinge with the logo of 32Hours7Minutes etched onto it. According to Terry, "I was trying to highlight precision and exactness amid potential danger, instead of racing at high speeds, and this is the direction I went." And because of his unusual direction, Terry’s piece generated, "huge public interest." If you’re anywhere near Harrison Hot Springs, Canada, drop by to take a look.
"This is designed to be the best software to defeat that 32:07 record that now stands." Isn’t the record 31:04? In this video Mark Nicholson of EyePatch Films, introduces a software package that integrates essentially all the systems that were used in 144A, with some new additions, in an attempt to break the Roy/Maher NY-LA record by using a ‘07 BMW Z4 M Coupe. We’re not sure it’s particularly wise to announce that you’re going to break the record lest you want to invite surveillance by numerous law enforcement agencies. We’re waiting for the record-breaking announcement and the data and the toll receipts and the witnesses, etc.. BTW, Alex doesn’t believe any of this is real.

Want to know what it took to join the U.S. Express back in 1980? Organizers of similar underground illegal races today sure could learn a thing or two from Express organizer Rick Doherty and the boys. Check out 32 Hours 7 Minutes Assistant Editor Adam Bedient’s production blog, then take a look at the acceptance letters…
Oh yeah…I almost forgot. Cory Welles has suggested - maybe - and I’m praying this is true - that the U.S. Express logo depicted above will make its way to the official 3207 movie T-shirts sometime. Soon.

Here it is. Above? The World’s Most Infamous Google kml map file, exported from Earth into Maps. (WARNING - you MUST download Google Earth in order to view the .kml file!) Entitled "Infographic & Validation (V.9)" - this is the same .kml we and Wired.com posted in October 2007 when "The Driver" was released, and shows various milestones our 31:04 Cross Country Run. Enjoy this…just a little tiny taste of what’s coming soon. Very soon, and I’m not merely talking about "32 Hours 7 Minutes"…
I was a guest last night on CBC’s "The Hour", a late-night Canadian talk show hosted by former DJ/VJ George Stroumboulopoulos. About 50% less political and 80% less scripted than The Daily Show, I wish it aired south of the border, and not just because I was given free reign all day to shoot the most free-wheeling, un-censored series of interviews in Team Polizei history. The best part is, I completely forgot to mention the name of my book or Cory Welles’ movie. The main interview with George aired live last night, and the others - including my un-planned, un-scripted, un-rehearsed nine minute riff on Rendezvous - should go up on their official site within a day or two. (I sure hope my jet lag, quad-shot coffee and cold weren’t too obvious.)
For now, IE, Firefox or Safari users can watch the main interview here. Use Camino and/or Facebook? Click here.

Sir Edmund Hilary died today. He and Roger Bannister’s examples held my commitment firm during the darkest days of planning the final 31:04 cross-country record run of October 2006.
I owe Hilary much, Bannister the rest.
