Google LatLong: Arterial traffic available on Google Maps.

And So it Continues… both the eventual super takeover of the googleplex {{1}}, and my exceedingly parasitic love/hate relationship with Big mother?brother?uncle? google. [[1]]GPS is a love/hate thing. If this was some “Enemy of the State” shit, there’s no way I’d be able to survive w/o my phone and laptop.[[1]]

Another tip for the bookmarking sites: You can add “&tags=XXX” to the URL to automatically enter in some tags on the posting page. Just replace XXX with whatever tags you want. Diigo separates by comma, Delicious by space (you might have to put “%20″ instead of a space, I’m not sure).

If your favorite bookmarking site isn’t here, rolling your own for your favorite site is easy. Just check out the API & bookmarklet for your site, and refer to the above examples as a reference. I’ve never worked with an API before, but figured out diigo’s in a few minutes.

Offline

Life, , ,

Ever since my cpu meltdowns last month, I’ve pretty much stayed offline. Sure, I still attempt to check my google reader everyday, but unless I see something really compelling, I don’t bother to click through. The bulk of my OL activity consists of checking my gmail, and watching StarCraft commentaries of Zerg players (Go Jaedong!).

It’s been refreshing.

I’ve been at an “End of Days” kinda state, what with me preparing to move on from my life as a San Diegan, a student, and a boyfriend. Everything is urgent, but for once in a long time, I’m not stressed about that shit. And since I’m spending less time staring at a screen, my mind is free to actually think about all this stuff.

People.

I miss people. Going back homehome for Christmas made this fact all too apparent. I’ve been spending so much time looking at the world through a 15″ window that I lost track of the 24/7/365 lifestyle.
