"go tag yourself !"

i've recently stumbled upon this site that gives you instructions on how to give yourself an RFID implant! there seems to be a few geeks out there doing this. that's cool. here is the demonstration and shopping list. you too can be RFID'd for only ~$105.49. claims to be usefull for computer security. anyone thinking about doing this should be aware that there are tags that can monitor your pulse, temperature, send GPS data, as well as temporarily paralyze you, among god knows what other things.

"i can see my house from here!"

not google this time, but microsoft.
they just released their version of Google Earth on live.com: Windows Live Local.

what's Great about this product is that it is pictures of land taken by planes. you can zoom in on "your house" and also rotate 45degrees. from the north, the south, the east, and the west.

nice little angled shots.

you smell like a monkey

it's google's birthday apparently and so they release a larger database. according to their blog, the new search index is 1,000 times larger than their original index. this probably refers to the ~4,000,000,000 page index they had, which means that there new index probably contains about 4,000,000,000,000 (4 trillion) pages. they claim this is 3x more than any of their competitors.
no googol yet!

the pig-bastards over @ google want to start driving around major cities photographing and measuring buildings. this data will be used for their Google Local and Google Earth projects most likely.

i don't really like the idea of google blanketing neighborhoods with surveillance equipment.

but whatever.

look @ Earth... for FREE!!!

Google Earth is now FREE. travel most of the world w/ pretty good resolution! turn on 3D buildings, and see what some buildings would look like if they were all grey! high rez textures for these can't be too far away.

if your too scared to use Google's, then you could always use NASA's WorldWind.

nothing left worth seeing
