 I spent about an hour this evening poking around Google Maps. It seems that every time I start checking out Google's satellite photos, my body enters a time paradox that causes the progression of time to actually speed up. Either that, or I am a giant map-dork. Occam's Razor clearly dictates that the first is more likely to be fact. hehehe...
So anyway... I started poking around Cardiff, Wales ... searching for the location of the Torchwood base. (Torchwood is the new Doctor Who spin-off series -- and no, that doesn't further prove that I am a dork and that I'm not stuck in a time paradox.) From there I thought, 'there must be a website out there that can do this for me.' A Google search led me to Google Earth Hacks.com that will link you to all sorts of great stuff via Google Earth. Check out the house from Six Feet Under, London's Millennium Wheel/London Eye (wikipedia link), Area 51, or even the Epcot Dome. Whatever on Earth you're looking for, find it on Google Maps (or Google Earth). Just watch out for the aforementioned time paradox...
Oh yeah, and Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoyed your Tofurky! But hold on tight ... the official holiday season begins tomorrow...
