Jacktracking: The Post-Modern Timewaster
GridSkipper introduced a new service with the beginning of 24 Day 5 last month, the Jacktracker.
The Jacktracker features: Insightful commentary (“Jack is dead. No he’s not. Frank Flynn = Jack Bauer. Frank drills oil, as well as Diane Huxley.”),
Useful data points (Hard Perimeters in Place: 0; Hard Perimeter Breaches: 1; Terrorist Attacks: 1; 24 Time/Distance Reality Breaches: 2),
Blow-by-blow accounts of who died,
and annotated Google Maps-powered depictions of Jack’s many travels around L.A. County (“Jack Bauer: CTU to Hidden Valley, California, via Spaceship Enterprise: 47 miles over 10 Minutes = 282 mph. Give us a break…”)
