For those of you with internet access on your cellphones, Google Maps Mobile has just added live traffic conditions to help us navigate the mess or at least know what we’re getting ourselves into when we walk out the door on a given morning. Just point your cellphone browser to http://google.com/gmm/ and hit “7” to turn on the traffic data.

If you don’t have internet access on your cellphone, like me, then you can live vicariously through the live demo on the Google website or just assume the worst.

    If you’re one of those people fortunate enough to have a Mac (like me), and you’re running Tiger, there’s a Houston traffic widget.

    Good call on the Houston traffic widget. I use it all the time and find it to be invaluable. If you have a Mac with Tiger, get it now!
