It’s not often that I curse myself for being a Mac jihadist, but this is one of those days.

i checked this google world thing out this morning – i have never got gooseflesh from software before. frankly, it scared me. i’ve had dreams where i could bounce up into the clouds and back down, and the interface re-creates this impression in a way i never thought i would see in my lifetime.
i think that’s my car parked outside my place in one photo.
that’s just spooky.
god knows what the nuts who run this country can actually see.

I love how Google understands word of mouth these days on the internet. They release the coolest fucking thing ever and there’s hardly a blip about it from Google. There’s not even a mention of it on the main page, and there probably never will be.

Mac version is out soon, they say. I might install it on other people’s work computers tomorrow in the meantime.

Pan over some mountains and hills. It’s 3D ! It’s just like flying over from 5,000 feet (except for that kid kicking the back of your seat).

You can get the overhead pictures from Google maps as well. Great stuff.
