It was a little tricky, but I finally found someone. Very few people are blogging about inventing new online websites for transportation, on or off a college campus. Luckily though, I found a blogger who works as a web designer, which is relatively similar since I too am talking about designing a new web site. His name is Jason Kottke. As he states is: "I believe that when people talk about solving problems with technology, what they're usually talking about is solving problems with design...which is to say, the application of psychology in a visual & functional context."
Essentially, Jason blogs about the latest things that happen in society (trends and happenings) while including little tidbits of his own personal life. He describes his blog as "An attempt to track and make sense of 'material that connects the insights of science and culture, rather than using one to dismantle the other' (as Steven Johnson puts it)." He also avidly avoids politics, which is rather unique for that is what a lot of people enjoy reading/blogging about these days. At my first glance at Jason's front page there were articles on everything from types of letters used in WWII to stalking with sites like Facebook to video game information to a game deciding whether the name given was the name of a cheese or a font style. It is a very interesting blog and one that I may visit again in the future. The URL is given below.
