GPS Drawings

With all the less then happy things happening, I thought I'd share a link sent in by mustafap. The site is GPS Drawing, and the idea is to record your path driving around with a GPS signal, and then graph the results to draw pictures. It's fun seeing the routes superimposed on maps. Simple and fun. I hope you enjoy it too.

    It looks really cool... I wonder how they wrote those letters on the front page... prolly in a plane or boat. Making rapid turns in a car usually doesn't work out well in crowded areas.

    WTF? Are you stupid? The country's society is already 1000 years in the past... hell it's probably even more... And if you bomb the crap out of them, where do you think the leaders of these terrorist cells will be... nowhere near the bomb sites... And once they have nothing left to lose, they won't hesitate to retaliate with everything they have at their disposal... and no, they don't keep everything in one place, you idiot.

    So how long until one of the slashdot trolls starts posting a GPS drawing of that goatse guy? .

    You dumb immigrant... Do you honestly think that just because you are white, means you are a 'true american'? Most colored americans are much harder workers, more trustworthy, and better 'americans', then most of you lazy hicks. Go get a job, and shut the hell up.

      Interesting...
      If Mr. T ate his balls, how could anyone else eat them?
      I guess others could eat the feces of Mr.T in order to re-eat his balls.

  9. GPS-guided missiles by macdaddy · · Score: 2, Troll

    I think it would be really cool to do this with the GPD-guided missiles that we're using against the Taliban (note I said Taliban and *not* Muslims). I would love to see their path from whatever launched them, avoiding enemy SAMs, hills/mountians, until the reached their target. That would be pretty neat I think.

    The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred last month, and now we're involved in a WAR and you people have the gall to be discussing a method of recording your path driving around with a GPS signal, and then graph the results to draw pictures???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!

    The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about drawing pretty pictures with GPS data, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddie's is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!

    You people disgust me!

    I could say mean things about a person who draws ascii art maps of past taxi routes on internet message boards.

    This being slashdot, I think I will!

    Indeed, here on Slashdot, it is highly unusual that anybody would draw an ascii art map of the taxi route. Indeed, most normal posters would have drawn an ascii art map of the taxi driver's open butthole...
