Boston Trip Track

May 6th, 2009 · 234 Comments · Personal

I had to drive up to Boston to attend the Independant Games Conference East tomorrow and Friday, so naturally I loaded up GPSed and tracked my path. It wasn’t anything special in the way of tracks, just me being all giddy about technology and using it wherever possible. Y’know – like status updates.

Anyways thanks to an Acura Integra blowing by me and initiating a – shall we say – high speed chase, the GPS tracker recorded a rather uhm, high maximum speed for the trip – so I didn’t make the track public. You can still download the Google Earth track data though.

Besides the Integra causing trouble (I swear they find me, I don’t find them) and a 30-minute long traffic snarl in the final 5 miles leading up to the George Washington Bridge, when I stopped for dinner I parked at the end of a row of stalls like normal, with one side up against a curb so only one car could park next to me (and not close at that). I looked back and saw a nice silver Mercedes CLK sitting a few rows over and one behind me. I considered parking next to him instead since his car was nice too, and it was under a light – but then I noticed someone was still in it, so I stayed put. Before I went in for food I caught up on text messages I received while driving, and suddenly the CLK pulled around and drove by me slowly – I looked up and nodded at the guy but he didn’t acknowledge, just pulled in a few rows over and parked. I kept texting. A few minutes later he drove back by me once more, and again we made eye contact but he just kinda looked my car over and went back to his original spot.

Suitably spooked, I went inside for dinner and quick sat by a window with clear line of sight to my car and his. After about 10 minutes he finally pulled away. I have no clue what that was all about.
