OT Traffic

Ok, so this off toppic, but I thought it was too cool not to post. With my new house I'm facing a larger commute, so I've been looking up ways to stay on top of traffic conditions. Here are a couple hacks that I found.

This one allows you to create a rss feed on traffic in your area. It uses Yahoo's traffic conditions map, every time there's a incident that pops up in Yahoo's traffic conditions you get a news feed in your agitator:

The map in yahoo's traffic conditions is small and hard to read, so this guy created a hack so that it works with the google map. Check it out it's pretty cool:

Anyhoo, I'm leaving for my trip on mondy. At least I'll have these wating for me when I get back.
