Microsoft Maps' Bird's Eye View is melting my mind

Check out this comparison:

GOOG vs MSFT

I know, right? It is like Sim City.

Update: Rotate the angle and often you’ll see the scene in a different season and year!

Unintended result! Nearly 3 years ago my sister took a photo of me and my brother shirtless. I put the pic on Flickr and added it to a public group I created called Chest Hair Party, as a gag. 30 months later, I had completely forgotten about this group until Flickr’s newly redesigned homepage showed me a random smear of pictures from “Your Groups”. For the past few days, ridiculous images of bare chested men filled my image pool and I couldn’t make the connection why. It turns out my meaningless group attracted a modest membership of 881 people who now reguarly post topless, often pornographic, pictures of their furry bodies. My astonishment upon discovering this is similar to that one time I found a 2-month old bologna sandwich in the fridge ripe with dozens of mold cultures, spawned while it sat neglected on the dark, bottom shelf.

TripIt

I forgot to mention TripIt months ago. It’s one of my favorite travel services. Forward all of your trip intinerary emails to plans@tripit.com and it compiles one pretty little comprenhensive itinerary to print out or access online.

Not for hire - Alaska's Sarah Palin (password required)

In Monocle’s first issue back in March 2007 they published an interview with Palin who was just a year into her governorship. Back then Rudy Giuliani was dropping hints that he’d like her to be his running mate. Of course, she deflected the rumor saying, “I think it is so far in outer space, the possibility that he would ever want a hockey mum from Wasilla to be his running mate, that I haven’t considered it.” Later, the reporter circled back around, “Say the Democratic ticket is Clinton-Obama, a woman and a black man, you can see why the party might approach you?” Palin replied:

Wow! And who do the Republicans have? Good old rich white boys. I think that’s another factor that has to be considered by Republicans, that in some way their candidates are a reflection of more politics as usual. Not to slam good old rich boys, but it sure wouldn’t hurt for new energy and new perspective to be enveloped by the Republican Party.

I removed a hundred Twitter followers by mistake. Sorry.
