Who Walked Home With Me?

Posted on 12. Jun, 2008 by loswhit in Web/Tech

That was an interesting experiment.
An average of 235 of you joined with me on this journey home.
I like figuring out new ways to use “old” communication tools like twitter. :)
Here is what you missed if you don’t tweet.
The end is on the top and the beginning is on the bottom…

    I came along, but I didn’t walk …I just sat and clicked the refresh button over and over and over to see what happened next! You are so cool Carlos! I’m glad you came to Georgia!

    I was with you the whole way… my updates probably didn’t go to your phone of course but I probably updated with every tweet you posted.

    Course I was the one who said don’t pick up the bag and told you jack bouer would have slid down the escalator instead of walking but you made the 505 anyway. :)

    You also had people on at least two continents stressing out with you getting back with the bag ok ((me @scottfillmer) and @supersimbo). I think @supersimbo said he couldn’t go to be (he is in Ireland) until u got home ok. haha.

    Felt like I took marta home from work today, and I am in Alabama.

    I got your twitter updates and my dog barked every time the phone chirped. Good times.

  5. david phillips 12 June 2008 at 4:08 pm #

    I followed. Luckily it was during my “unwind” time. It was quite the adventure. I must admit, I may steal the idea–just gonna be honest.

  6. Los 12 June 2008 at 4:08 pm #

    My ideas are your ideas. :)

  7. FireMom 12 June 2008 at 4:11 pm #

    Fabulous! We were out on a walk at the same time so I missed your jaunt!

  8. dana kidder 12 June 2008 at 4:12 pm #

    I did. And now I have “Honestly” stuck in my head. Thanks a lot Bro.

  9. Brook Sarver 12 June 2008 at 4:16 pm #

    I tried to follow, but I wasn’t getting your updates. Stupid Twitter!

  11. C.C. aka LorelaiCC 12 June 2008 at 4:23 pm #

    I followed & really want to know what happened with the bag.

  12. Brandi 12 June 2008 at 4:23 pm #

    I caught up after being gone most of the afternoon. It was fun!

  13. Steven 12 June 2008 at 4:29 pm #

    I followed along.

    Twas a nice walk home we had.

    I wonder if neighbors were concerned about the large group of 235 that were walking the streets of the ATL?

  14. Mark 12 June 2008 at 4:39 pm #

    I followed along, I think it would be really cool to do the journey home using Gawker so we would have a nice time lapse video to watch.

  15. Lita aka Grandma 12 June 2008 at 4:44 pm #

    Your Mom followed you home to make sure you were OK. Now do the right thing and call that poor person that lost that backpack. Love you Babe, Mom

  16. brandiandboys 12 June 2008 at 4:53 pm #

    me!

  17. Los 12 June 2008 at 4:56 pm #

    My mom totally thinks I’m going to pawn that Trea.

  18. Los 12 June 2008 at 4:57 pm #

    Or treo

  19. YPCice 12 June 2008 at 4:57 pm #

    Dude, I followed it was the highlight of my day. Seriously…

  20. Kristi 12 June 2008 at 4:59 pm #

    I kept envisioning the guy coming back for his bag. He is totally freaking out now. He’s working with security, pouring over the surveillance videotapes. Now they’re looking through Codis for a facial recognition match to the guy who took off with the prized bag, full of top secret notes.

  21. Jenn 12 June 2008 at 4:59 pm #

    I did not follow along but my kids and I enjoyed seeing your journey after the fact. Thanks for picking up the bag – it gave me a chance to talk them about helping others out. :o )

    We can’t wait for the bag mystery to be revealed.

  22. Marla Saunders 12 June 2008 at 5:05 pm #

    Carlos, you rock. That was a great ride/walk home! Who wants to bet it is someone utterly cool who is going to connect Carlos with someone even more amazing when Carlos returns the bag? Or there’s a reward… or we get to see it on live mogulus when Carlos returns it. Instead of EdTV we have CarlosTV. Thanks for giving us all a fix today.

    And oh…Steven’s image of all 235 walking you home like you are the Verizon Network in person….very funny.

  23. evan 12 June 2008 at 5:15 pm #

    i did for the first 2 pics, then i had to head.
    just catching up now.

  24. Jason Cole 12 June 2008 at 5:18 pm #

    Wouldn’t it totally rock if they guy who owns the bag reads your blog. What a story that would be. Can’t wait to hear where this goes.

  25. Steve Murphy 12 June 2008 at 5:20 pm #

    I was still working and was living vicariously through you going home! What happened with the bag???

  26. Loran 12 June 2008 at 5:21 pm #

    I’m with you the whole way.
    STRYPER! “To Hell with the Devil”
    Did the guy get his bag back?

    You’re like a personal little reality show.

    That was fun. But I think you should’ve stuck with your instinct about that backpack… and shot it.

  28. Kris Sorensen 12 June 2008 at 5:28 pm #

    I came along for the journey. I can’t believe you stumbled upon a backpack full of goodies. All I ever find are pennies and the occassional dime.

  29. Robin 12 June 2008 at 5:46 pm #

    Me too. Who knew that a trip home could be interesting? And ditto with the bag. You’ll probably take pictures with the owner won’t you?

  30. Amy Storms 12 June 2008 at 6:00 pm #

    I had to take my daughters to ballet right when your journey was starting so I’m catching up now. My trip wasn’t nearly as interesting as yours. Can’t wait to hear about the bag. I hope it’s someone famous.

    Los… you may have seen this, but check this out!

  32. Steve 12 June 2008 at 6:35 pm #

    I walked home with you, and am on the edge of my seat about the bag…

  33. Travis Spencer 12 June 2008 at 6:40 pm #

    i was with you. You gonna do this when it’s 102 this summer.

  34. steve harrison 12 June 2008 at 6:56 pm #

    Cool! Fun! at $4.00/gallon I need to be running & riding the bike to the job!

  35. Kyle 12 June 2008 at 7:02 pm #

    Well you know I was there…reading all the way. Just glad you made it home alive.

    i came along. do you know the marta station attendant, tes? he works every afternoon. cool dude. you should meet him. tell him you’re my friend… that will get you in good in just about any scenario!

  37. cheri 12 June 2008 at 7:04 pm #

    i was with you…. made me cali-sick…. i used to take bart from the east bay to san francisco for a day in the city

    ….or to oakland for a pizza at zachary’s….

    time for a trip!

  38. Jinx 12 June 2008 at 8:22 pm #

    I followed, but was driving home from work at the time. Very cool idea.

  39. Jake 12 June 2008 at 8:31 pm #

    I walked the whole way too. The suspense was intense. Good job.

    I was a refresh button freak.

  40. john in colorado 12 June 2008 at 9:36 pm #

    i was there. fascinating that you found a backpack. post on the contents and on meeting the owner. and how they start attending buckhead and how they become a follow of Christ. make it so.

  41. Tim 12 June 2008 at 10:10 pm #

    followed you from my cpr class… maybe I was a bit irresponsible

  42. Kim @ Forever Daisies 12 June 2008 at 10:52 pm #

    man, you got me on the edge of my seat with the mystery bag.

  43. Andy McMahon 13 June 2008 at 2:54 am #

    What happened with the bag???? Oh gosh.

  44. AA 13 June 2008 at 4:35 am #

    Sorry, Bro. I followed you to the train and then it was time for me to bail. :)

  45. Brian Reese 13 June 2008 at 4:39 am #

    can i send you a bill for all the text messages?

  46. John Ireland 13 June 2008 at 6:04 am #

    part live…part delayed

  47. Nick 13 June 2008 at 6:46 am #

    I wish I had public transportation where I live… gas is over 4 bucks a gallon, you know.

  48. Sully 13 June 2008 at 7:19 am #

    I followed the entire way. I had my IM open and watched every single step of the journey. Every time you updated I was there with you instantly.

  51. lorijo 13 June 2008 at 8:55 am #

    it was quite an urban adventure =)

  52. Crystal Renaud 14 June 2008 at 7:20 pm #

    for real, what happened with the bag?

  53. Andy McMahon 14 June 2008 at 9:58 pm #

    Umm. Can you email me what happened with the bag…….. seriously.. I won’t tell anyone if you don’t want me to…

  54. Chris 16 June 2008 at 10:21 pm #

    I, too, want to know what happened to that bag!!! You need to bring that guy on the blog!

  55. Joe Louthan 17 June 2008 at 6:30 pm #

    Because of you (I was about to type @loswhit … ha!), I started taking the train/bus.

    Every day is an adventure. Every walk is something completely wonderful.

    Best part, because of my iPod and Shure headset, I have the best soundtrack in the world.

  56. nicole 19 June 2008 at 1:09 pm #

    what happened to the backpack?

  57. cheri 7 July 2008 at 7:23 pm #

    so….what’s the story on the backpack? or are you going to leave it to our imaginations? :)
