Automated Meter Reading

April 10th, 2013

Each of these little boxes mounted on the outside wall of Gyro World contains a small radio transmitter connected to an individual water meter. Automated Meter Reading has been implemented around the city to improve billing accuracy, eliminate the need for human meter readers, and allow customers to monitor their water usage in real time.

I'm walking every street in New York City.

This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
