if anyones actually wondering how this is done, you attach a 360 panorama lens on a camera mounted on top of a car. program it to snap a shot every half block or so, then drive around. Tada!

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

Google knows everything you have searched for, but if you're nice they won't tell. I imagine one day though I'm going to be brought to jail for some minor infraction and it will somehow get out all the shit I looked at when I was in my early teens. That'll be a bad day.
What's scary is that for the last three summers I've had to demo Google Earth.
EVERYONE THINKS IT'S REAL TIME.
I'm occasionally tempted to ask how they think satellites can get real time images of every piece of land on Earth (with full zooming, panning, tilting, etc capabilities) in real time.
Looking at the maps of where I was and lived at the time I can guess when they took the pic as the people next door to me currently were still renovating thier house.
The Drudge Report manages to piss me off almost daily. It's the most influential news site in the world, and they're trying to make this look as it its live picture feed. "OMG IT CAN READ LICENSE PLATES! PANIC!" Yeah, if you were driving or parked in that area while the imagery was taken, maybe, but big fucking deal.
Also, it seems apparent the hardware used for this did not involve the google employees "stopping every 10 feet and taking a picture". It seems, for much of it at least, they drove along with hardware attached which recorded 360 degree hi-res images.
This is the information age. People who find this frightening need to get out of the dark and realize there's nothing intrusive or frightening about this.
People who run and yell, "Big Brother!" as a knee jerk reaction to anything that comes along are so damn annoying to me.
I was thinking to myself, how many ounces are in a shot? Because I just drank 4 oz. of gin, all I had left. So, off I head to google.com and type in "shot to oz". What does google tell me?

Okay thanks.
You're dumb.

Someone stole all their camera equipment.
Then they stole their rims.

You can make out a shadow on my porch. I assume it is my doggy who died a few years ago...
