MOUSETRAPPED: A Year and A Bit in Orlando, Florida, will be published in Spring 2010. It may be the only travelogue to include tales of working in Disney World, seeing a Space Shuttle launch, New Urbanism, pixie dust, Bruce Willis and the Ebola virus.

So I've decided not to bother and made this 3 minute audio/visual explanation instead.
