Hey, I'm On Google Earth!

If you go to Google Earth you'll find photos people have posted from all over the world. I forgot I had thrown a few up last year, so it caught me off guard to see a picture of me standing on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.

Let me know if you can find it.** It shows up for some, but not for others. Depends on what version of Earth you have. Also, am I the only one that can spend hours surfing around Google Earth? I love that thing. I can't wait until they can come up with a live satellite feed some day.

**I think my veil of anonymity is slowly disappearing. Time to either stop saying bad things about members of Congress, or find a new blog.

Google Earth is one of my favorite things on my computer. My wife and I will just sit and travel the world together. the pic of our house has someone standing in the driveway, but we can't tell who it is. Hmmmmmmm.

Doh! Zopher, you win. I'm the fourth guy in the picture who just fell off the top of the bridge. Actually, I almost think MauserGirl based her Surfboard Character on that photo when she drew it up for me. I originally posted it back in Aug/Sep 2004.

Oh, and by the way, it's not too far of a swim from NY to London, as recommended by Step 24. I wonder if anyone could sue Google if they followed that step and got injured.
