Urban Adventurist: Freight Train, Each CAr Looks the Same

I was so so close to not walking at all today. But I really wanted to test out the new app I downloaded on my Android... Plus I have a coat so warm it would make a Yeti jealous... and I needed to do something today, it was gorgeous and sunny out.

The route was a little bit of a mash up of the

high park and junction routes I have been doing recently. Perfect test for MyTracks. Below is the result of

my wanderings, and the testament to the marker setting on the GPS tracking system. It may have started military, but like every other technology worth its stars and stripes, its now suited to rambling and pointless thoughts and observations. Long live web 2.0

If you are that bored, you can click through on the markers to see the inanities noted in each spot along the journey...

I remember in the comic books I read as a kid, a million double digests filled with archie and jugheads hijinx, there was this one thing they would used to do. Its such a faint memorie i almost feel like I am making it up. But I remember they would have these pages that would be just one panel - an aerial view of a room or neighbourhood - and there would be a dotted line following the path of mischief and destruction that L'il Jinx or the family circus kids or whoever would beat through the world. I feel like MyTracks is the modern version of that....

I love it for the same reason I love the stitched digital photographic works of Alain Paiement, like this one below:

Just makes me wish for the ten millionth time that I was artistic, and not just creative.

Creative - Artistic = eccentric

(by the way, theres a marker titled "Rods of steel" that referred to a picture that for some reason didnt show up.... its below... imagine the gams a girl would have living in any of those houses!)
