It’s hard to imagine such a number. Fast Lane Daily has produced 500 episodes. The big 5 double-oh. This is something very few other online shows have reached, with big names such as Rocketboom.

Now some of you critics may think you’re smart and look at the Youtube episode count, and see less… and yes, that is true, there are no longer 500 episodes listed on youtube, due to some issues still being worked out by our lawyers and such. However, there have actually been 503 episodes to date, not all publicly available.

We’ve gone from this:

To this:

It’s proud to have been part of 500 daily episodes, of a show that is still going strong. This coming February 26th, Fast Lane Daily will turn 2 years old. After only 2 years, the show has grown in epic proportions. Starting at only 1,000 views an episode on Youtube alone, FLD now achieves on average 50,000 views on Youtube alone. Per day. Every day.

Talk about an amazing feat… and with little to no promotion, to top it off.

Congratulations to everyone who has worked on the show. It couldn’t have been possible without any of you. (I saying this, after editing roughly 350 episodes myself. It’s been a wild ride.)

Here are some photos of today’s production, as it happened. Enjoy… and thanks for watching.

After some time and consideration, I have determined that I no longer have the time to fully update my blog as I have in the past. I am moving everything around, the blog is now located here. (http://ianjenkins.net/blog)

A new website will soon be in place, hopefully something more professional. My goal is to focus on career oriented work from this point forth.

Good day!

I don’t normally dwell on the weather, as it just comes-and-goes without too much of an impact on my life. This time of year, we all really want nice, warm, spring weather. And up to now there really hasn’t been one warm spring day in New England.

In hopes of nice weather this weekend, I decided to check the upcoming forecast…

You’ll note the following 8 days will all be warm and sunny… if you live in Washington State!!!

What’s going on here? We all need a little sunshine once in a while… except for the vampires. they don’t really count as people anyway, so who cares. What’s causing this horrible spring?

If you refer to my Happiness Vs. Weather graph below, you can see by the celebrity comparisons, that the soon-to-be weather is going to have a dramatic effect on happiness levels for the upcoming days.

Not good. Hopefully Britney Spears will release a new album, maybe a duet with Hannah Montana, and it’ll top the charts and bring us some more rain… or maybe not. I think either one of the two is a bad thing to wish for.

A few days here and I’m sort of ready to leave. Don’t get me wrong, I thought I loved it. The weather has been okay, but I think I’m ready to head home.

Maybe I’m just being extremely overworked and severely underpaid, or one of the two, as usual, but either way, I will feel more comfortable once I’m back in my apartment in NYC.

Here are a few photos from the past day or three. Enjoy.

We drove out to the desert for an hour or so, and ended up in a town called El Mirage, somewhere northwest of Fontana, California. Found a dry lake bed, and had some fun.

We spent most of today filming some Supercar Life footage.

Derek DeAngelis was in his prime of course. JF filmed.

I also did some filming.

We managed to cover a bunch of great stuff…

I actually managed to have some fun, delivering equipment.

The aviators made the day possible. Tune in tomorrow for some more photos.
