live vicariously through google earth


The office can be a depressing place. Cubicle walls, monitors, meetings and what what. I try not to be too cynical but can only last so long. If you have not yet, get google earth. It is fantastic.

For those unable to travel the world while stuck in the office, you can at least see the satellite images of the places you wish you were. Walk the great wall of China with your mouse (look out for carpal tunnel), find your childhood home, sit on top of a mountain and look at the 3D terrain (from mount kenya you can see Kilemandjaro, in both real life and in google earth).

This is a screen shot of my house in nairobi. wicked!
