Deprivation: Day 10
In deference to those with bona fide medical disorders, I’m not going to title this post “Obsessive Compulsive.” But it is fair to say that for the nine days I was without my usually plugged-in state, I went through some classic symptoms of withdrawal, suggesting that my recent relationship with technology is a skosh imbalanced.
Fine. You, the consumer of this digital content are the beneficiary.
And I became aware of entirely new technology solutions I hadn’t discovered, or uncovered previously to help fill some gaps.
One of my favorites: packagemapping.com, which takes the dowdy line-by-line, city-by-city tracking information provided from UPS and FedEx and plots that information onto a Google Map. PackageMapping works with about 12 other lesser-known services, too (Purolater?!).
There are a bunch of services that do something similar, but this is the one I latched on to.
This way, you can obsess over why whatever-it-is isn’t here, or there, yet.
We’ll talk about some other alternates in upcoming posts… Teaming dozens among the WKF fanbase—any favorites? Feedback!
