Possible Futures

This is my first blog entry. It is happening because we're stuck in traffic in Arkansas, just across the border on I-40, heading for Texas. I have internet access, which means that I should be able to find out more about the accident that is slowing us down using the web, but I can't locate any news, pictures, blogs, or anything else relating to the accident, which happened over 5 hours ago, by my best estimate. The truckers know more about it than we techies, because they, at least, have CB radios.

So, I'm curious. Why is it that no news media has been googled, why has no cell phone conversation led to a blog post about the accident? We stood stock still for almost 4 hours, hundreds of us, and the internet was no help at all in figuring out what was going on. Hence, this post.

Now, I want to put a character string in this blog, just to see how long google takes to index it. i40accident123. I'm going to post this now. If anyone has any ideas on how to get information out onto the web more effectively, let's discuss that.
