From the Official Google Blog:
There’s nothing worse than getting stuck in traffic when you have some place to go, so I’m happy to tell you about a new feature on Google Maps that can help. For more than 30 major U.S. cities, you can now see up-to-date traffic conditions to help you plan your schedule and route. If you’re in San Francisco, New York , Chicago, Dallas, or any of the other cities we now include, just click on the traffic button to show current traffic speeds directly on the map. If your route shows red, you’re looking at a stop-and-go commute; yellow, you could be a little late for dinner; green, you’ve got smooth sailing.
We can’t make traffic go away, but we hope Google Maps traffic info helps you avoid it whenever possible.

Shizzy’s Mailbag
Shizzy the slacker e-mails unsuspecting people and convinces them to do stupid things. In his latest thread he convinces a new Starbucks employee to spy no his fellow employees and even has him try to fire some of them. Damn funny in a cruel, cruel way.

I’m trying out Bunny’s Technorati Tags Wordpress plugin, written by Stephanie Booth to create tags for indexing by Technorati (see the list of links at the bottom of this post). So far it looks like it is working great and it was fairly easy to install. I’ll post again later with my impressions after I’ve used it more.

Commemorative T-Shirts for Fictional Events
I haven’t actually purchased any of these shirts but I love the idea. I like buying shirts from events I’ve attended and locations I’ve visited. Ironic Sans has taken that a step further by coming up with nine hilarious shirts from events that never actually took place. The 2,378th Annual Mummy Gathering and 1st Annual Agoraphobics Convention (22nd annual attempt) are my favorites.
From the Ironic Sans blog, which first brought you Pre-Pixelated clothing (you know, for when you’re on Reality TV) comes Commemorative T-Shirts for Fictional Events! Just because these events never actually took place, that’s no reason not to wear a shirt letting everybody know that you were there!
