What's amazing is how in a few decades, the personal workspace (PWS)
has evolved into a newsroom. Instead of a few papers having these telex
machine feeds, we get this blizzard of news reports, some half baked,
others slickly misleading, all ready for editing in the virtual studio.
The CSN CRO and I were checking out the Florida freeway system this morning, using Google to suggest where the worst logjams are, then pulling up stories. How many freeways have committed all four lanes north? Any concept of "evacuation bus"? What's up with the trains? Why not commit railways to getting people out? Insufficient rolling stock?
Houston decided to hunker down, more than evacuate, yet more freeways fan out from that hub, going inland, then you get leaving Florida. The two sides of the peninsula provide the two main arterials.
It'd be easy enough to get all these computers on different channels with several sources per screen. Then it'd look more like a newsroom or monitoring station. Like a control room.
I took public transit out to PDX last night for a meetup with a JetBlue pilot's sister (she was flying JetBlue).
He's retiring today, or at least bringing in his final flight, from Fort Lauderdale as it happens. They're having a gate party at JFK today, a JetBlue tradition.
I used to live full time in Florida, in a mobile home park in Bradenton. A lot of the news stories are focused on changes to building codes since Hurricane Andrew but what's special about Florida is how much of it is mobile home estates. Lets not just focus on fancy beach side apartments and condos.
