I'm curious, obmar.
What were you trying to portray with the two images?? |
||
| obmar |
Google earth used to display the election results, in the first Philadelphia....
which area supported him and which did not.... |
||

Actually, obmar,
Your first one shows New Jersey, and the various counties. I could ask my ex which one she's from (I don't recognize them). I'm from California. |

I lived many years in New Jersey from about age 9 till age 19
Philadelphia, though in PA, was our closest 'big city' |

Just saying how google earth is also being used in politics...
mapping how people vote... we were looking for translators to convert GIS to GE and while searching I found that. |

pretty cool and it seems apparent that you love maps! (I think they are interesting too)
Amazing the things you find by accident sometimes, when searching! |

What was the world before google or altavista | ||
| Blue1moon |
very different, my friend... nowhere near the access to so much information by so many people
nowhere near the ability for people across the world to connect with each other... and find out, perhaps, that we are not so different!

Google will be so dominant
in our life from now on... maybe more dominant than Microsoft had been. just see what i just gave me... http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/...ive/releases/2006/10/image/a+zoom |

It's truly sad that the Hubble telescope will be allowed to fall in disrepair.
Those are some great views, and the possibilities are endless. |

Focus on the right things....focus on the right things, mancaneasily put up something 10 - 50 times better than Hubble. after all nothing is infinite, except HIM. |

Re: Focus on the right things....
Yes, if all the money spent on warring was put to better use, what could be accomplished would be stunning...amazing... wonderful. I wish I thought I would see this happen in my lifetime. All we can do is try to work toward it and hope/pray. |

Joining in your noble prayer..
