In the parking lot we saw the Microsoft Live Local truck and I spoke briefly with Gary Ekstame of Facet Technologies, whose job it is to drive this truck around and snap photos of US cities.

Ekstame said he was shooting for the Streets and Trips project, a software that sells for $129. Apparently there’s a GPS device that accompanies the software.

Ironic then that he was driving around with “Microsoft Live Local” on the back of his van.

Anyways, thanks to Gary Ekstame for letting me poke around in his van and ask a few “w3 t0dd 1D” questions:
