A little more than three weeks before the tires hit the pavement. A sneak peek at what will become our online dashboard for the tour is above.

Rob just completed the work, and Paul's in the process of connecting all of the feeds that will feature live media streams. The van at the top of the page animates, and content will include a live webcam, Twitter, Flicker and blog feeds, and of course webisodes of the daily adventures.

You'll also be able to track our every move - with a GPS/Google maps mashup. NYC to Dallas, watch out!

Brian's setup the GPS tracking, so that you can follow the Plaid van on tour. Every step of the way. Keep an eye on us, to make sure we stay on track, stay on schedule, and stay away from casinos.

We'll be incorporating the GPS feed into a Google maps mashup, and it will track the van in real time. Since it's still four weeks until the tour kicks off, Brian's been testing the system on Plaid employee cars. We think he caught someone going to a strip club at lunch the other day.

Can't wait to see this live.
