Digg thisCNET News.com reporter Daniel Terdiman is hitting the highway, a car full of gadgets in tow, for the third summer in a row. On this year's trip, he'll weave through the South, stopping at sites including the Johnson Space Center in Houston and the Kennedy Space Center near Orlando, Fla. Follow along as he swings through Kentucky to visit the National Corvette Museum and a UPS global distribution center that's a veritable maze of conveyor belts. He'll visit New Orleans to gauge how the city is faring post-Katrina. And what would a visit to the South be without a day at Graceland? Stay tuned; maybe he'll even don an Elvis costume (again).
