Hey Peter... Come closer my son... closer... ( I can see your house from here.)
Via loyal reader #0017, EDog, we are made aware of two developments with Google worth checking out.
First: Gizoogle. Get dizzle with the gizzle, bizzle! Fo shizzle!
Also: Welcome to erf. Download Google Earth now, and mortgage hours of your life. Google has aggregated a planet's worth of satellite maps into one globe simulation that you can navigate at will. Zoom in, zoom out, tilt, get driving directions and watch turn-by-turn instructions and a bright purple line spread out across a richly detailed terrain map. I can see my house from here. I can see my parents' house from here. I can see the Drug Van parked outside Chainsaw Mick's place, from an application on my computer desktop! The future, folks, is here.

Interestingly, it translates
Interestingly, it translates "Alsø wik" as "Alsø wizzik" but "Alsø alsø wik" as "Alsø alsø wizzle."
Our buck rogers category is now "T-H-to-tha-izzat Buck Motherfucka Shiznit." My capsule bio is now "The end result of generizzles of careful inbreed'n."
Gary Farber of Amygdala may be amused to know that his link is now "Gizzle Crazy Ass Nigga"
The title of my most recent post is now, "A nigga in need" which I admit is more euphonius than the original.
Also improved is this part of your London bombed post:
I wonder if we can just use gizoogle as our straight feed.

For those of you who have read Stephenson's Snow Crash, this application will be familiar, even to the name.

Perhaps the only thing more intriguing about Gizoogle than its facility for Yogi-isms and fully inserted random snippets is the fact that they haven't yet had their asses sued off by the boys and girls from Mountan View.

Thanks a lot for encouraging me to waste the past hour. Google Maps, which I'd been ignoring because I was only marginally impressed with Keyhole when they first bought it, just blew my socks off.
Those folks are wizards at technology, and they've completed their database, at least for all major portions of this here Earth. When next I get some time to spare, I'll go globe-hopping again, just for fun. Amazing stuff.
