Why I'm not blogging as much as I should - part 382

A while ago I find a link to a Google Maps mash-up that lets you drive a little car around the Google street map.

"That sounds like fun." I think.

I click on the link. I get a little car that is sitting in the middle of a map of London. Great! I like London! And I rarely drive in London -- I can practice!

So I start driving around. I suck at this! I'm weaving around so much that I am expecting that a little police car will show up to bust me.

And I'm driving around the teeny map, and I start wondering where I should go. So I get on an A road and start sticking to them. The next thing I know, I'm zig-zagging my way up the M1.

At this point, I'm starting to think "Now where should I go visit?" And I suddenly realize that this is actually astonishingly boring.

My tiny virtual car is now abandoned in the virtual breakdown lane here:

The keys are on the front left tire.
