A good friend of mine is on sabatical from work to ride across the US - for the second time. You can read all about his trip here http://www.viciouscircle.us But the really cool thing is that he is carrying a Motorola cell phone with service from http://www.ulocate.com that allows you to see where he is in real time. Go to http://www.ulocate.com and enter
username: biketrip
password: usa
Click on select on the left side, and you can enter a range of dates to see where he has been. Here is the trip so far

I'm the guy who carried the GPS cell phone. You have no idea
how amazed I was to find a text message from Scotland on the
phone one morning...
