Cabspotting in San Francisco.

I know this city,but not as well as a current resident. I lived there when I was very young..across the water from Kezar stadium in what was known as Hunter's Point..a military housing "slum" for lack of a better word. I partied there a lot when I was in my teens and living in San Jose..but I digress.

This site is the work of a science museum, a cab company, and a design firm in the Bay Area. A GPS tracking device is embedded on each cab and its tracked throughout its routine day. You can see a cabs complete movements for a five day period for example. Or you can watch a time-lapse project that reveals the circulation of cab speeds throughout the city's arteries in a four-hour period; and the uncommonly beautiful "Intersections," where the cars' trajectories, marked in crosses, glitter and ebb like a fast-forwarded record of the night sky.

Its a cool way to screw off a few hours..just saying :p
