A while back, MapQuest used to allow you to see satellite photos of any address you entered. Now Google Maps is doing it. If you think about it, this feature is useless. So why is it cool? I don't know! It reminds me of something I saw on Dave Barry's blog the other day.
So I was grazing, as guys do, in a technology store yesterday, and I overheard a salesperson trying to sell a cell phone to an older couple (by "older," I mean "older than I am," which is extremely old) and at one point he told them that the phone he was holding in his hand had all of Spider-Man 2 loaded into its memory. This raised two questions in my mind:Anyway, here is our house, surrounded by trees and, er, many, many other houses. I tried Keith's address, and I'm afraid the closest they could get was Front Royal. Kyla and Garrett, if you look closely enough, you'll see us standing on the back deck waving to you. Closer, closer...
(1) Who in the world would watch Spider-Man 2 ON A TELEPHONE?
(2) Why did I immediately want this phone?

Here is something cool you can do with this thing. This is where we're going tomorrow, on the coast. You can zoom in and then by using the arrow keys or by holding the left mouse key down and dragging the map around you can follow the coast. Kind of a virtual tour of Highway 1. You can see the waves breaking. You can almost feel the wind in your hair. Keith, this may be the closest you ever get to California.
