Google Earth rocks. I've spent many an afternoon zipping around the earth exploring. Some interesting views: - The Grand Canyon, but use the middle mouse button to lay the camera down and you'll find that instead of just flat-earth satellite imagery, they've draped the satellite photos over 3-D terrain. You can fly the Grand Canyon as though you were in a helicopter. :) - The Forbidden City in Beijing. Having a full satellite view of this ancient bastion of hidden power means a lot to me symbolically. - The Himalayas. Again cool 3-D terrain. I was looking for some large Buddhist monasteries, but never found 'em. I did find the Taj Mahal, but the resolution's poor and it's little more than a white blob. Anyway, this is all blather for another list. Fun program.
