Dude, where’s my car?
Some people misplace their car keys. I misplace my car. Often. See, I don’t drive very much, commuting to work by train as I do. And I park on the semi-anonymously gridded streets of Chicago. Add to that the frequent dustings and dumpings of snow and loaning it to friends in the neighborhood and it can be damn hard to find.
Enter Twitter. I’ve been wanting to do something with this much-buzzed, nanoblogging tool, but I really didn’t think my daily minutiae interesting enough to submit. (And I still don’t.) Hell, this blog is boring enough.
But as a mini-blog of my car’s location, it is absolutely perfect. I give you …
Don’t steal my car please. Oh, and someone add geotagging to Twitter. That’d be nirvana. (Update: thank you very much.)
