damn that technology

so new google craziness. recently they released google maps - which is my new directions site of choice, but NOW they have satellite photos- want to see your house from way up high? type in your address and up it comes, most are zoomable (i found houses in phoenix i could zoom in completely, but those in blacksburg, i couldn't). http://maps.google.com/ for a little distraction ;) for a little controversy about the subject, check out cnn.

this is a little behind, but i caught this article today on wired.com - http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,67190,00.html.

click through the images where it inadvertantly caught more than just the landscape... some of the pictures are really interesting, i.e. the 747 landing, the firefight in Najaf, etc.
