One technology I really enjoy using is Google Earth. It came out around 2004/2005 and became immensely popular with users. Google joined various maps, satellite pics, aerial pics, and 3D buildings to create a virtual Earth that can be explored. You just type in the address, and Google Earth "flies" you over to the destination, where you can enjoy a birds-eye view of the area. Many of the images are often clear, and you can even zoom in for a closer look.

This posting wouldn't be complete if I didn't take a peek at one of the libraries. Can you guess which one?

I could spend hours looking over all these tools. I hadn't realized how much had been built around Flickr. Some of the tools seemed pretty odd, but I did find fd's Flickr Toys the most interesting. I played around with Motivator and created this "poster." It was very easy and fun to do!

I've looked at Flickr before but haven't done much more with it. I love travel pics, so I browsed around and found this typical picture of Alaska. We saw a lot of this on our trip this past May.
