Am I the only one addicted to UPS Tracking? When I have a package in route (this time it's this), I tend to reload the UPS Tracking page about 50 times a day until it arrived. I don't know - it's something about seeing each city show up as the package makes it way to me. If they added GPS, I'd probably get no work done.

Ha,ha. Me too. Bloglines package tracking may help extend the life of your F5 key ;-)

I am right there with you man. Except it usually just makes me mad because I will watch the package stop in a city for a couple days. Or it will get here to portland and wait until the proper day to actually come out to me.
But I sit and watch for updates all day long anyhow :)
I still want gps tracking of my package.
ahh... someones tracking their PSP hack :)
Yep, it's for my PSP. :) Unfortunately, I can't use the new hack - as I upgraded to 1.51, and it's only for 1.5. :( But I have faith it won't be long. I'm going to stay at 1.51 and not go to 1.52.
I can take the obsession one step further.
After I receive the package, I check every so often to see how long it takes to update that the package was delivered. This can give me an idea on the latency of the system.
I need help :(
with FedEx, i like to go back a few days later and look at the digitized signature of the recipient. it seems that UPS anymore just leaves packages and doesn't get signatures - unless you request it.
Yeah, me too. But I add another step (especially if the package gets shipped by ground). I go to mapquest and map out the route the package took to get to me.
My kids think it's cool, but I think I need help too!
Wanna see when my new Blackberry 7100g arrives? Look here, as I have done more times than I will admit!

Yes, we are addicted to some very strange things. Found that you can google tracking numbers. It works great.
Yes! I am addicted to tracking!. My f5 key is faded completely out!. Help me! Just kidding--I am addicted to tracking though, and at the moment am all over my violin coming from Texas to the east Coast.
