Frickin’ Sweet!!!
Someone just sent me info on this really cool program by Google. It is called Google Earth and it rocks. I downloaded it and serched for a bunch of fun things. It is basically a map program that uses satelite images. If you have a nice computer, you can scroll way out and in and move it around like a neat spy movie. Our city looks really tiny from space. We sure have a lot of suburban sprawl. The images are a bit old, but Google says they will be updating them every 6 to 18 months. It is neat to look at foreign cities and monuments. Go check it out!!

I have a Mac, so can’t run that program yet. Hurry up, Google programmers!

Make sure you also turn on the buildings and look at downtown. You can tilt and view the skyline, go between the skyscrapers, etc.
Yeah, I have that same Mac problem as Greg. Not fair!
