The picture of my house is like, 4 years old.

I still love it though.

Our house was built this year, so it's not on there.

Headache in a Suitcase · 11-21-2005, 10:29 AM

haha you live in a house that doesn't exist

Irvine511 · 11-21-2005, 11:21 AM

if it can't be googled, then it isn't real.

You came to Portland and didn't stop in to say hi?

Irvine511 · 11-21-2005, 12:34 PM

so far today, i have been to the Florida Keys; Tallin, Estonia; St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia; Cape Town, South Africa; and i tried, in vain, to retrace my trip through Morocco from Marakkesch to Zagora ... funny how the GIS gets less detailed the further into the desert one goes.

Cape Town looks fab, though.

GoogleEarth=Best.Thing.Ever.

Irvine511 · 11-22-2005, 11:47 AM

so far today: Buenos Aires; Rio; back to Brussels where i found my old house but can't seem to locate the Grand Place because all the street names on GoogleEarth are in Flemish and i only (sort of) speak French. or used to only sort of speak French.

still, best city to "fly" around: Cape Town.
