Google Labs

Okay, I stand in awe. For years, I've tried to figure out how to get from my house to my main branch without taking three or four different buses. But even Metro's site couldn't figure that out. I tried the Google transit trip planner, and it found a way that I only need one transfer. Metro always had me going north, then transferring south, whereas Google has me starting out going south. (What a shocking idea. I want to go south, so it starts off by heading me south).

The printing was a problem (but, since it's under development, I guess we can give them some slack). When you print a trip, it prints the wrong trip.

I also tried the ride finder. I can tell you the location of every Yellow Cab in Seattle at this moment. This'll shock you... Most of them are around the airport or downtown. But there was one on the same street as the Kent library.

I also looked at some of the award winners, but I don't want to type forever, and bore my loyal readers (reader?)?

for the 27 things, the previous blog is also part of this, concerning the spreadsheets and such.
