Go Where You Wanna Go

If you're as obsessed with Google Earth & Google Street View as I am, hopefully you'll love this site as much as I do:

Click on "Teleport" and it will whisk you off to a random location. So far, I've landed on a motorway just outside Lyon, in France. A rather creepy empty highway in New Mexico, and a beautiful quaint cul-de-sac in Finland. Other people haven't been quite so lucky - one unfortunate soul ended up on an industrial estate just outside Bradford. Ick.

Have a go, and see where you end up. As for me, well, that's any productivity for the day completely gone...

Lovin' You

It's utterly gorgeous outside, which is why once I've finished typing this nonsense I'll be sitting outside relaxing and reading a bit more "What Was Lost" (which is rather brilliant) before I have to whisk myself back off to Wolvo for a 2 hour lecture about sentences, or something. I dunno, all I know is that I'm missing my dinner for it, and that annoys me greatly.

Anyway, this is just a quickie (ooh, pardon!) to say that the new Street View facility on Google Earth might just be the greatest thing ever. I'm astonished by the awesomeness of it all.

Check it out! Manchester is particularly brilliant (hey, when is it not?)
