Oh, wow!! three of my favourite things in the one place! Food, Alcohol and being Trivial!! Not only that, it’s local – just a few minutes away. gastronomica Now all I need is a babysitter for the next eight Monday nights! Any offers?
Up until now, pretty well all my googlemaps posts have been related to the cool things that turn up in the photos – I’m a very visually motivated person! However, I’m also a web developer, so it hasn’t slipped my notice that google have created a very flexible API for people to hook other information [...]
Over at googlesightseeing.com I think they must be getting sick of me. They posted Australia’s Parliament House, which, among others, I suggested. However, in the spotter credits they say “woowoowo (again!)”. What’s that all about? Anyway, I’ll show them! While we’re in the Nation’s C we’ll stop by a few other sights: The National Museum [...]
I was talking to a friend today about the Queensland theme parks. The Gold Coast is the holiday destination of choice for 7 – 14 year olds for one reason… well, four reasons: Seaworld, Dreamworld, Movieworld and Wet’n’Wild.

All the same, it’s a bit disappointing when the US has so many planes in flight, that I could only find this one, just off Point Cook, Victoria. We actually [...]
Of course, I’m still finding interesting things on google maps, but every now and then you stumble across something that is more than just an image. You see, the high-res photos on google are (we’re told) up to 3 years old, the medium res ones are probably more… they are little snapshots of history. On [...]
Yeah, I’m still hooked on Google maps, so I’m going to risk boring you with a few more great spots to visit. First, there’s this hot air balloon over Berlin. Then there are some enormous fires in Siberia. Finally – it’s virtually impossible to spot individual people on these maps, but a crowd is pretty [...]
