Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I can't believe I made my group have a conversation about what citation style we were all going to use, and then they didn't do it! Now I get to fix it all.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TYPO BOY!!

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I'm trying to figure out if it's just me. Is that microsoft live thing really klunky to use? Maybe I'm just too used to the way that google maps works...

Looks like their aerial imagery is the same as google's, but their "bird's eye view" is new. Good detail, but weird to use.

Anyhoo, view of our back yard:

Edit: sorry, link is gone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know Mully? He did a great job on our car a couple months back.

That's cool, but my hometown isn't in their database.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Another way to look at yourself from on high.

Interesting. I like the maps are better than Google Local, but the interface is clunky. The aerial images are excellent quality, but I have no idea how to navigate them. They just seem to be random shots here and there. Google Earth does a far better job on those.

eta: Or what Tom said...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It works a lot better in IE than it does Firefox.

Hmm... If you need me, I'll be over here, being suspicious of everyone.
