Google Earth

I found out yesterday that Google Earth is now available for Macs. Excitedly, I downloaded the .dmg image and installed Google Earth. Despite all the disclaimers about how computers older than two years or four years may not be able to run Google Earth, my iBook which is about one year now cannot run Google Earth!!! The Mac version of Google Earth is built for OS X 10.4 Tiger! Chey! Hmm... this meant that my iBook was outdated the moment 10.4 came to market. Which was about two weeks after I took delivery of my machine! Argh!

Nevertheless, I installed Google Earth on our media PC in the "AVA-room". Google Earth on a large projector and screen setup is absolutely fantastic! So is World of Warcraft! I managed to find our old and current homes in Singapore and the three points just about forms an equilateral triangle! How cool is that? Very cool.

Panning across the globe to Canberra, I found my crappy and depressing rental Canberra apartment. Then my brother came in and we twirled the globe again to Vancouver where I see, for the first time, the fantastic apartment block he lives in; right by the water front! This just makes the Hackett apartment look like shit. Got to move out! I've got to move out!
