I'm currently on parental leave till September. During that time, I will not read any e-mail or blog comments.

Until I'm back, please read through my archives, take a look at my code/applications and check out my pictures.

Have a great summer, and a splendid winter to you aussies and kiwis!

Google Earth

Published on Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

Google Earth must be one of the coolest applications I’ve ever seen! With me loving to travel and a vast interest in seeing the world, this was a real eye-opener.

And just think about the implications! I really wonder where all this will end!

A tip: hold down the left mouse button to drag the map around, and the right mouse button while dragging up or down to zoom in and out.

PS. Thanks to Faruk for bringing this to my attention. DS.

I hope a version will become available for the poor Mac users too, so they can see this.

Aya caramba! I can see my house from here (sort of, I am sure it’s part of those blurry blobs)!

Very cool. Thanks for the tip.

I hope they will do so.. That’s the only “bad” with Google I think.

All the proceeds from ad clicks will go to charity. However, if you like to give something directly to charity yourself, I recommend choosing from the listed ones below.
