WATERCOOLER Things witnessed on a Friday night drive

Whoever said nothing ever happens in New Jersey would be wrong tonight:

  1. Route 1 & 9 by the Holland tunnel was so flooded, they had to close it off, causing massive traffic.
  2. A Ford Explorer burned instensively on the side of the Garden State Parkway as two firetrucks tended to the fire. The heat from the fire was intense enough to reach me (three lanes away) as I passed it. All this while the rain continued to pour on Jersey, for the fifth day in a row.
  3. Drunk/depressed adolescent walked along the middle of a dark street as he narrowly escaped collision with various cars at 1 AM. Cops show up and takes him to safety (or jail).

WATERCOOLER All’s Quiet on the Iridesco Front

Or is it? We’ve been working away the last couple of weeks on an idea which we hope many Internet users will find useful. The idea revolves around content–YOUR content to be more specific. Yes, you with the blog. Yes, you with the social bookmarking. Yes, you with the Flickr account. And the many more faces of you.

We are on schedule to quietly release this free service in the next few days. We will have news and more info on all of this real soon!
