Google Earth

For anyone out there as fascinated by maps as I am, check out Google Earth, a free download that recommends a broadband connection. Basically it is satellite imagery of every corner of the planet, which if you are from the right place -- curse my parents and their enormous maple trees -- will actually allow you to see your home from an overhead vantage. The detail is so precise, in fact, that I think you can even see a hobo on my stoop holding a Cobra -- or is it Colt 45? No, it's definitely Cobra.

Hat tip to the great Dr. X on pointing out this potentially consuming time-waster.
