Trevor and I just shared a technological epiphany that had nothing (much) to do with computers. We were driving southbound on the Skyway, crossing the bridge that connects Chicago with Indiana. Our rented Grand Prix launched us skyward, and we approached a huge rolling truck of some kind. But this was not just another construction vehicle; it was actually picking up and shifting the cement lane dividers one lane to the left, all underneath the body of the truck, as though it were just as simple as a little push. It was so cool! We didn’t even realize what was up till we were driving by, gaping at the cool-osity of the monster at our side. If they made a Tonka of one of those, I might have bought one on the spot.
