Geography Tattoo Fail

Oh, God, NO.

Saw this on Failblog: Ugliest Tattoos and just had to share the horror.

Virtual Hikes in Google Earth

Foram, this is for you!

So, found a great collection of places to "hike" in Google Earth.  Sure, it's a little bit of a bummer to hear "9 Mountains You May Never See In Person", but once you get past that notion, it is a fun idea.  Why not hike Vesuvius?  (I have seen Vesuvius IRL.  I mostly gaped at it like a moron.  History geek!)

Here's the link, which gives out coordinates:
Virtual Hikes.

Greetings From Mt. Fuji!

Happy Valentine's Day?

I'm in the midst of student life, so, too busy to breathe, but I'll take a moment to post a non-geographic screen shot of an email I got this morning.  Apparently, amazon.com has decided to weigh in on my love life.  *sigh*

3 of my 4 maps for my final project

We are constructing an historic atlas of PA.  My topics are the history of the Carlisle Pike, and an examination of the Susquehannock Indian genocide.  Here are 3 of my 4 maps.  Map number 4 is on the hard drive at school.  Word.

Nicole, if you are still grading, this isn't part of my assigned blog.  Just posting to show family and friends abroad what a geek I am.

Because we all have sooo much free time...

My most recent newsletter from GIS Lounge contained a link to a free ArcGIS game, Fifteen.  Just in case you don't remember this game:


That's right.  It's that game we got as a stocking stuffer when we were 9 years old.  Remember getting frustrated at the puzzle and trying to pry the squares off of it so that we could just get the stupid "12" in the right place?  And then that jerk from social studies class solved it in like a minute and you felt like an idiot?

Hey.  Everything just went black and I woke up in my happy place.  Sorry about that... now where was I?

Right.  Fifteen.  Well, someone has created an ArcGIS version of the game.  Just download it, and "Fifteen" will appear as a toolbar option the next time you open an ArcGIS project.  Observe.



Hey!  What happened to Philly?

Enjoy!
