Tim's Hitting the U.S. in the NetBeans Mobile

My fellow NetBeans Evangelist, Tim Boudreau, told me he was moving from California to Massachusetts, and he had purchased a truck to make the trip. When I saw the truck I come up with this crazy idea to have Tim do some advertising for NetBeans and also let the world follow him by using a GPS device and a web site.  Well Tim went for the idea and my manager Judith Lilienfeld supported the idea so Tim spent many hours getting the truck ready for action.  Here's a picture of the truck just to get you interested.

More details about the truck can be seen on Tim's blog.

Tim took off from Nairobi (East Palo Alto) last night but didn't make it too far.  He only made it across the Dunbarton Bridge. Check out everything including his route at the official trip web site.
