BTW, You have to click on "Satellite" in the website, otherwise you don't get the satellite pictures.

Last I heard, they were planning to digitally scan all the books in a number of libraries belonging to prestigious North American universities and then allowing people to subscribe to this "digital super-library" for a very modest fee; the whole database would be searchable.
The future looks bright, kids.

Eh. I looked up my address and it was wrong. I live in a large trailer park and there's a large church next door. All it showed for my address and the church was trees.
It's okay, I guess, as long as what you're looking for has probably been there a while.

I can see my house. This pic wasn't taken recently though; the tree in the front yard has all its leaves.

Around 10-15 months ago, I think. My elementary school near my house shows up as the former patch of dirt.

Those same satallite photos can be found at www.terraserver.microsoft.com and you can zoom in closer.

Now, now, no need to share that big black hole fetish of yours with us. I'm just saying, not judging.

I'm not sure I'd want to get any closer, then I'd just see that they decided to take the photo on a day when the lawn needed mowing and the dandelions were growing out of control...
