baja_bfgoodrich_1000.jpg

Part documentary, part GPS-enabled tracking system, this Martin Agency-created website for BFGoodrich celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Baja 1000. The GPS-enabled component of the site lets people track the position and stats of drivers as the traverse the thousand mile course. It’s pretty simple and strait forward but we’re sure there’s some interesting technology behind the site powering the GPS component. If you’re into this race, this seems to be one of the ways to stay in touch with the action

I’m 65 and I’d tell my younger self to get comfortable with being disliked — not because it doesn’t sting but because the alternative is a life designed around other people’s comfort, and a life designed around other people’s comfort eventually has no room in it for you, and you’ll arrive at retirement with a beautifully maintained reputation and no idea who you actually are underneath it

A letter to the mother who now asks me what day it is: I don’t mind answering. What breaks me is that you ask with the same apologetic smile you wore when I was sixteen and you forgot to pick me up from practice, as if inconveniencing me has always been your greatest fear.
