En Marzo Adam fu√© a una conferencia en Texas. Para saber la ruta desde el lugar donde se celebraba la conferencia hasta su hotel, tal y como cuenta aqu√≠, us√≥ el servicio (Que todav√≠a esta en pruebas y no es la versi√≥n definitiva) Google Transit. Lo curioso es la ruta que le recomend√≥ el programa, pues la parada del autob√∫s donde ten√≠a que bajar se situaba a un quil√≥metro del hotel. Ese quil√≥metro del trayecto lo tendr√≠a que hacer a pie, cruzando una v√≠a del tren y una autopista. Sorprendido, Adam se preguntaba si era Superman. Hasta aqu√≠ todo normal. Al fin y al cabo Google Transit esta en beta y es perdonable. La parte curiosa, es que unos d√≠as despues un paquete llega a su buz√≥n. Dentro hab√≠a una carta con disculpas escrita a mano por Joe Hughes, que es uno de los responsables de coordinar el servicio Google Transit. Y aparte, tambi√©n hay un regalo; un disfraz de Superman con la capa. Aunque este √∫ltimo es para edades de hasta 7 a√±os.

In March, one blogger at SXSW, Adam Darowski, got directions back to his hotel that told him to cross an eight-lane highway. Actually, looking at the map, he had to cross two highways. They recommended that he cross at their intersection. The straightest distance between two points, and all. Here I am behind some warehouses in the pitch dark, trying to find out how to get over/under that highway. It√¢¬Ä¬ôs a tangled mess of high speed lanes. I come across train tracks. Of course, I look to my left and a train is coming (of course, I was at a safe distance). But are you kidding me? I√¢¬Ä¬ôm trudging all over the place. I finally call my hotel (which I can SEE but can√¢¬Ä¬ôt get to), and they walk me through the way to get there. Which was very long. I think I have a permanent crater in my shoulder from my laptop bag and the huge SXSW bag. I was walking for about 90 minutes when it was all said and done.
