download that and use bookmarks to piece together your personal history.
also check out their forum, your mind will blow with the amount of information people are figuring out they can integrate into this thing.
a few hours ago i tried out some stuff:
- i now have it integrated with wikipedia (every wikipedia article with a coordinate mentioned within it is now on my globe, that's tens of thousands of articles).
- one other thing i put on there retrieves flikr pictures that were taken near whereever i happen to be looking at.
- another one integreates it with quicktime panorama images.
- another one is tracking cyclones in realtime.
- another one is tracking every USA flight in the air in realtime.
- another one is able to integrate any RSS feed, it's really something to plug the RSS feeds of news broadcasters into this. reuters, bbc, cnn, and watch as all the storys come up in various places across your globe.
i'm having fun anyway, try it out

Funny you should mention that. We are going to take the "gloves" off in December. The goal is for the little one to arrive right after I get out of grad school. I must admit to being a bit aprehensive about it. I don't deal well with sleep deprivation. The first six months of our daughters life were hell for me. I used to wonder if I had what it took to get through Navy Seal school. Even assuming I had everything, I would fail Hell Week because of the lack of sleep.Flabby Chick wrote:Have another kid ded' ......instant bordom reliever.
