i'd never thought i'd be facinated with such a program...but i've spent HOURS upon DAYS on it and have learned so much.
i can spot fiji from the moon, i finally know where papa new guinea (sp?) is. you can see flames in africa where they're burning 'unused' natural gas. i know where tom cruise lives, and brad pitt....aswell as i figured out, if i have my druthers, i'm gonna live in malibu.
this program is just so awsome.

Aug 23, 2007 06:36 am Oh, yeah, Google earth does rock, I remember flame and I traded locations to show each other where we lived, checked out different area of interest in our countries and stuff...very cool.
My dad had me install a better video card in his computer JUST for Google earth...
Aug 23, 2007 06:39 am yeah i can mess with it for a few hours at a time, no problem. i've learned to see zoning from above...and i think i wanna live in the San Fernando valley of CA....the pictures that ppl leave are very nice.

Aug 23, 2007 07:57 am I was checking out Universal Studios in FL after we went.
You can see the Incredible Hulk on there.
Way cool.
Being out in the sticks, G-Earth doesn't have my area in higher res, but it's still cool.

Not trying to put you off (oh, my wife used to live there, my brother-in-law still lives there, and it's literally 30 minutes down the road from me):
They have four seasons - Fire, flood, quake, and mud. Watch the news, if there's a natural disaster in California Malibu EATS IT.
It's very snobby (if you're not from the 'Bu, you're considered filth).
Traffic. Nuff sed.
So many other places I'd rather live.
Google Earth is pretty cool, though. I love the videos on Youtube that show all the weird things seen from space...

Aug 23, 2007 03:53 pm New version is out I hear, now you can view space. Have not checked it out but sounds awesome.
Aug 23, 2007 06:33 pm yeah that's awesome. at last, people don't have to pay for an astronomy program. who knows how good it is, though. gotta check it out.
