I remember how excited I was when Google Maps first came into existence. I would seize anyone who seemed to show a particle of interest, sit them down in front of my computer, and click madly on the little square until I could discern my own house. Well, Google Maps has grown up quite a bit since then. Now I can satisfy my need to stalk my own house by flying straight home on the wings of Google Earth....

Heather conceded my win at When on Google Earth 77 , which was really only a guess on my part, but I guessed right and that seemed to be enough.

Recently, my wife and I realized that the plywood retaining wall keeping our backyard from sliding into the pasture behind our house had to go. She kept reminding me that I work with Google modeling tools everyday and should come up with a plan to build a replacement wall. Honeydew (read "honey, do") turns out to be more than a melon. But she was right. Using Google Earth , I was able to...
