I’ve ordered myself an MP3 player with Amazon, and I really enjoy watching the UPS tracking system. Here’s an excerpt:

Jun 30, 2005 10:59:00 PM SAN PABLO CA US In transit
Jun 30, 2005 10:58:00 PM SPARKS NV US Departure Scan
Jun 30, 2005 08:37:18 PM SPARKS NV US Arrival Scan
Jun 30, 2005 08:27:00 PM SPARKS NV US Arrival Scan
Jun 30, 2005 07:22:00 PM SPARKS NV US Arrival Scan

Whoa! Apart from arriving three times in Sparks, my package apparently left at a about 1/15th of the speed of light. Without line-of-sight, since there is a huge mountain range inbetween…

Yay, I hope my player survived this speed… ;-) And I hope no truck will ever overtake me on the highway at this speed…
