Drive home from Richmond, VA
Well, hi! Here are a couple GPS routes from my recent drive home. Note that neither of these do much to describe how beautiful some interstate highways are (which is why I'd still like to do a Street View tour of some of the highlights), and neither communicate just how awesome I am at long-distance road-tripping: it was a 14-hour drive, and I think I finished in about an hour. That's right. You'll also see evidence below that I occasionally jump off the highway and move across America at near-light speed. This is also true, and isn't a symptom of a bad GPS receiver in the least.
Landed! (day 1)
Well, here I am, safely ensconced in my West Village micro-hotel and all I can think about is sleep. Am I really capable of sleeping through a steamy, sultry, summery Saturday night in downtown Manhattan? In the timeless words of Canada's first Swedish President Peter Elliott Mansbridge: "Just watch me".
<-- very tired. just ignore him.
I must say, though, it was neat to fall asleep on the bus here:
...and then open my eyes what seemed like five minutes later to see this:
I tracked the whole bus route by GPS, but it seems the BlackBerry was taking occasional naps too and I don't feel like surfing through XML right now to fix it.
OKAY. Tomorrow morning is: picking up Tri-X film, finding a good bagel, and checking out the High Line. Until then, goodnight!
Pages, and a walk home from work (3 sleeps)
And now for something completely different: more pointless maps.
Another imported GPS route
I'm not getting sick of this yet, and the quicker I am with the whole process the less time I have to spend fiddling with it while I'm in NY.
Just another geo test
A GPS track of my morning commute. I love the drunken, swaggering, imperfect line along Queen, and the confused jump when I took the subway from Queen to Dundas. This makes me want to try the GPS equivalent of skywriting, so remind me later not to propose to anyone using this method.
