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.
