Google is outside!

Recently, I read a couple articles on 'The Smoking Gun' (Ithaca alum connection), that illuminated a dispute between an angry private resident of Pittsburgh (drop the h) and the genius of Google. Google offers a new aspect to the Google Maps application appropriately named 'Street View'. This application gives you a 360 degree view from the streets of approximately 20 major metropolitans. Unfortunately, Washington D.C. has yet to make the list, perhaps for security concerns? Either way, you all cannot see the beautiful brick cube I live in. Quite a sight! However, Google Street View allows me to keep tabs on my parents in K.C. (see below).



This technology was created by using a globe-shaped cluster of cameras attached to an SUV. Basically, the SUV cruises through an entire city and the surrounding suburbs. Giving Peeping Tom something to do while surfing the internets. It is really amazing how Google is shrinking the planet. Check out this feature on Google Maps when you get a chance.

“Saying ‘I’m sorry’ is the same as saying ‘I apologize.’ Except at a funeral.”

So, I have not been on this in quite some time. In the recent months, I have continued to work, work out (5k in May) and visited Lori in L.A. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far and realized today that I am closing in on a year out of college. It is amazing how fast time passes.

I have also spent the last couple months stimulating the economy. Between golf clubs, noise-canceling head phones, plane tickets, etc. I will not recognize this recession.

The title to this entry is from Demetri Martin. I just DVR'd his stand-up Person. Pretty funny. I definitely recommend taking a look.

I will try to keep up with this blog, if anyone is reading! If I have any visitors who are blog-savvy, I would love to hear some tips and advice about expanding my audience. Thanks!

One more thing, does anyone know a type of bird that chirps in the middle of the night? I have a family of birds right outside my apartment that appear to be a bunch of night owls, pardon the pun.
