The thing on the wall, with the curly cord? Some of these "steam punk" kids are sticking compasses and gyros and such on them now.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
After that you can tie it into the GPS on our phones so we can see livetime info as Buffistas move about the world.
Ain't nobody sticking a LoJack on me.

My phone has that capability--the "Buddy Beacon" integrates iwth the GPS to tell you where your friends with teh same cellphone service are. Except I don't know anyone else who has a Helio phone, so it would be sorta useless.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Huh, I've tried putting in my zip code and my street address, but it doesn't move me on the map. It keeps putting me right on the word "Oakland."

have you tried zooming in? I was all salty that when you clicked DC you got Wolfram, until I did a max zoom and then there I was! on my street!

Yep, I've zoomed in all the way. I'm right on top of the word!
I wish you could zoom in with the scroll wheel like you can do on normal Google Map, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Had you been in as "Oakland" at any point, PC?

Yeah, I initially just put "Oakland, CA." And now it won't budge from that mark.

Okay--there may be an issue with the latitude/longitude updating code. I'll have a look at that over the next few days.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Nobody move until ita fixes the map!
