A post on the Google blog post pointed out that New Orleans has street view on Google Maps now. A lot of it is really good. And a lot of it makes me ashamed to be American. I urge you to take a look. Flood St. is a great place to start. The number of moving vans you see in these, and the advertisements for home buying, are interesting.
this made me happy, though I may also be swooning from heat. 100 degrees feels like suck.
I am so impressed with MyHeritage.com’s ability to adopt new cool kid tech as fast as it does. Even if I generally get a different answer from their product every time I use it. This was the best response ever, since it seems like they just gave me random people with glasses. James Spader has always been a huge crush of mine, so that one is a little creepy. Weirder still, is Larry King. When people ask me what my dad looks like, I always say Larry King. No one has every thought this was true, but now I feel very vindicated since apparently I TOO look like him. Wait, I am not so happy with that. Except I also look like some hotties. And Shirley Temple, which is obvious since we both have that cherubic look.
Last time I did this I got a lot of Swedish rock stars. This time in bad music, I got this Chester fellow, who is the lead singer of Linkin Park. I did not know that–I looked it up. And a cricketer and a documentarian. Weirdly everyone I am compared to, except for Chester I have some interest in. Definitely more informative than my previous uses of this tool.
Today E and I were discussing which is the most canonical Jenny picture yet. She opts for the one I like to refer to as “Kick out the Jamz:”
However, the best incriminating SXSWi2007 photo of me is also, for different reasons, very canonical in its own right:
The interplay between t-shirt and food/beverage runs deep in my life. But so does the Mac hugging and group taxidermy loving.
Finding photos of myself on the Internet randomly, not taken by friends, is a little eerie. It just makes me wonder how many photos of me there are on the Internet I don’t know about.
this photo of me sorting jelly in a restaurant pretty much sums up everything anyone needs to know about me.
Does anyone have a particular place they get digital photo prints? I would prefer to upload them online somewhere and get em in the mail…..
I am making my mom a photo book, and I am sure much of it will be last minute/half assed (as I am involved), so speed as well as thriftiness is superior over quality and propriety.
Here’s the unadulterated view from my roof this afternoon:
