Busy day today .. spent juggling several jobs at once. I was down here  in Boston for two reasons. I was here to attend the final project review of a group of Olin college students who did some really excellent funded research work for us.. and to help a friend make a movie about smart asset tracking.. in this case, the asset was garbage.. This group at MIT is instrumenting everyday trasha with cell phone connected gps recivers and using that to watch the ‘removal chain’ of junk from our lives. the results are really fascinating.
here’s a map of the path a paper cup tool after it was tossed in a garbage bin in Seattle..

What would happen if wereally knew where are garbage went.. would we consume differntly ? I tend to think we would…

Anyway..I’m in my folks house,  I need to wake and drive at 4AM.. so I better go to sleep soon.
More tomorrow..

Nite all. Nie Sam
