google does maps now… and from what i can see right now, it does it very, very well.. it’s super fast, the maps scroll when you click-and drag.. and it has local data integrated with a wonderfully clean looking UI. masnick thinks that this is just like keyhole, with maps. now… if i could only flip to the keyhole view… so so cool..

google has successfully trained me to search for an address in google to get to maps.. so all they have to do now is fully integrate this maps link, and voila.

haha… google labs has this launching on 2/8/2005.. i’ve beat THEM by 6 minutes!!! w00t!

but yah, this is by far the nicest looking map site to date…

so i watched the game at kezar pub yesterday.. we got there at 11am (4 hours before kickoff).. we got ourselves a sweet table in the middle of the action, and gorged ourselves on buffalo wings and coors light in an icy eagles bucket. my cousin stephanie was the only patriots fan in the whole establishment, so while she quietly cheered her team to victory, the rest of the bar was full of rowdy hope…

it was a great game.. and i think the energy of the bar was captured in this video.. aj’s friend vince took the movie footage, and i assembled it with muvee, of course..

good times.. good times.. aj says that there will be a rematch next year.. same teams, and the eagles will emerge victorious..

whoa… bloglines bought by askjeeves? congrats to mark, if it’s true.. bloglines rocks.

so.. it looks like us wax slingers will be SOL by 2009… the petroleum byproducts needed to make vinyl will no longer be produced by 2009… guess i’ll have to step up my goal to convert all my vinyl to mp3…

neat… it found my mySimon-ness… easy.. but cornell sailing? i’m impressed.

look! it’s ditto! apparently, she ate something bad that dan fed her, and she fell asleep for a long time. poor ditto. bad dan!!

hmmm.. that’s odd.. kind of like a turducken, but also kind of different, i guess..

[thanks doug!]

so we’re having a little change drive here at work to try and raise money for the local food bank… a bunch of people decided it would be a good idea if vin ate 100 mcnuggets — all in, people pledged a total of about $20 per nugget..

he made it to 53… whoohoo! good job vin! he raised over $1,060 for the food bank… and now he never will tough another nugget again. yum.

so yah.. i got some drums.. they’re kane’s, actually — whoohooo!

Went to the b boys show last night. Man. It was awesome. Brass Monkey!

Yo. flickr rocks!

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Oooo.. now that we’re “post cold-war”, check out these soviet ICBM launch keys on eBay (man.. i love eBay — especially since “eBay” is “Be” in pig latin). These things were made with titanium.. those soviets sure did know how to make cool doomsday stuff.

[thanks mike]
