Google Maps now with Satellite Photos of Everywhere!
As if Google hadn't already given the rest of the internet the knockout punch with Gmail in the battle to be the internet's "Camelot", their wizards have come out with Google Maps: Satellite Edition. This is absolutely amazing!
I've found satellite pictures of my townhouse, where I work, where I went to college, where I grew up, where I'd like to move, my car, and even me waving!
Check out satellite shots of major airports (LAX, ORD, ATL, DEN); skyscrapers; Las Vegas; and New York City for starters. My roommate and I even found airplanes in the air, with shadows below. Rock on Google!

andrew! i'm so excited to see you've joined the blogging world (even if your blog isn't as pink as mine) ;o)
as far as the sat fotos...that is pretty cool but kinda creepy too dontcha think?...i hope no one saw me back into my mailbox the other day!
Thanks Rachelle! I've had fun blogging so far. As far as the satellites, it will be interesting to see where the line is drawn as the technology advances.
Andrew,
We got your site through the usual family lines that pass information faster then cell phones. :-) Hope you're enjoying CO, and if you go to CA, let us know. It should be really cool. Actually, I saw J-Rod last month and he mentioned maybe Fuller in his future. He's currently at Butler doing the Oboe thing.
Rock on, and don't get into too much trouble ;-)
Hey Tim,
I'm doing well out here in Colorado. It's practically Taylor's mecca. There are so many TU grads out here. It looks like sunny Pasadena may be in my future though. I'm flying out to visit in a couple weeks. Glad you guys are doing well at Ball State! Talk to you later!
Andrew
