Unbelieveable coolness

Google Earth is the coolest thing in the world ever, ever, ever. I need to buy a new PC to run this at its fullest-fat. Oh. My. Gods.

The Placeopedia layer to link GE locations to Wikipedia entries. Iranian nuke plants. Bird flu spread maps. Amazon strip clearance. Hurricane trackers. Terrain at a level where I just flew around Jura and felt nostalgic for that boat holiday.

Holy crap, but this is good.

Crumbs

I've had my offer on a flat accepted. I'll soon be the beleagured owner of my own bit of dirt. Gwarsh. Cheap as chips and solid but in need of a decorative touch. And some polyfilla. Space for the cat, and next door to the Chinese. No parking: big deal. With a scrap of north-facing inter-terrace garden and a lean-to shed (former bog) and everyfink.

I'm in serious shock. Things are moving too fast!
