Thus, I commute.
Until recently, I had no use for http://www.georgia-navigator.com/ - the Web site for the Georgia Department of Transportation's Intelligent Transportation System. I used public transportation - or only had one route to choose from.
Now I drive, and I can choose three options. So, I use the Web site twice daily.
The Web site, and the "Intelligent Transportation System" is a typical weird, disjointed seeming IT driven communication system. There's traffic cams and trip times and maps and incident lists and dipictions of the traffic signs along the Interstates, etc.
Humans like to hear stories or have their questions answered in a straight forward manner. Humans using the "ITS" dig around for nuggests of facts in snippets that might give them an idea of how long it'll take them to get home and what routes they should avoid.
In the digging, I come across found objects that amuse me. Here are two of them I found this morning.
NASCAR is in town this weekend...
This could describe my life...
