GoogleEarth that is! http://earth.google.com/ Check this shit the fuck out. <—- Look at all that cussing, you have got to see this now. Even if you’re not a nerd or dork (btw you’re a dork whether you admit it or not ;)), DO IT!
Anyways, this thing is amazing. Download, install, then double click somewhere on the globe. Then have it search for Paris, France (find the Eifel Tower). Then have it search for your address and fly home. Then click the local tab and search for movie times or some chain of eateries you like. Wow. Check out the Twin Towers construction site. Wow. Wow. Wow. Visit Eaton Canyon and tilt the camera way down and SEE how big the mountains are – even follow the old path (or you can fly around the Grand Canyon – it’s under “places” – just double click it)!!! GOD DAMN THIS THING!!!! And it still has room to be better…play with the layers – crime stats, freeway maps, local eateries, gas stations, banks…and the list goes on and on. Ok, one last thing. Turn on 3D buildings and go to LA. Tilt and rotate the camera to your heart’s content. GOD DAMN IT! Wait, isn’t this what we say we don’t want terrorists to be able to do? :shrug:
Sorry. I’m a little bit excited. DOWNLOAD IT!!!
In related news, imagine what the Government has access to! I’m never leaving my home again. I’m going now to clean my underwear.
Ha, shows how much Curtis gets on the forum. ;)
I searched the forums for it…I can’t find it. I also downloaded this the day I posted Phil. Maybe try downloading it through a proxy.
