Google Maps = more stalkerish than ever!
So Google is constantly evolving and dazzling and amazing me. But this is crazy! I was browsing some addresses on Google Maps and I found out that not only when you google an address, it gives you a street view of the address...


image

But now if you click where it says Street View, you can look at a picture of the house and the entire street!


image

How freakin cool! I looked at my parent's house and it has my parents newest car, so the pictures must be somewhat recent. Go check it out!

(Apologies to 24 Linwood for stalking you) :)

My landlord is in the street view in front of his house.

Hehehe... My brother and I were are on google maps walking toward Delaware down West-Ferry from the Elmwood-West-Ferry Crossing, carrying a humongous La Nova Pizza box. :) Talk about being caught on camera! Buffalo was mapped last fall (around labour day).

Yea, this is helpful when shopping for houses, that's what I'm using it for :) Try going up Elmwood or Allen and see if you recognize anybody. It is a little freaky though, gotta admit.

Hi everyone. I guess it actually hasn't been THAT long since I posted but it feels like a long time. (e:Mike) 's entry made me feel like a bad person since I haven't updated! I'll try harder next time. I just got back from six weeks of living in Chicago working on my Master's. I'll be back the next two summers. The program was really awesome and I learned soooo much stuff. But I missed lots of things here so it was nice to come home. I'm currently being a bum, avoiding school planning as long as possible. I slept in till 11:30 today. Holy crap, that is late. Anywhoooo...what a boring entry, but I feel a little better since I used to be a fairly avid poster (ha) and I have slacked off for toooooo long. BYE!
metalpeter - 07/31/08 17:21
It feels like a long time because it has been 4 months, based on the date of the last post listed. But time is all relative. Sometimes there is nothing to share or anything to write about. Sometimes there isn't time to read and write blogs.

Wegman's, pics, etc.
I just finished some tasty Asian cuisine from yet another Wegman's I had never been to before! I love discovering new Wegman's. Today it was a Wegman's in Depew, on Losson and Transit. Although the Market Cafe did not compare to Alberta Drive or even Amherst St., it was better than the one on Orchard Park Rd. for sure.

Here are some random pics from this weekend. One thing I love about th eiPhone is that I just plug it into my computer and it takes the pictures and puts them right into iPhoto.

We were visiting my grandfather in PA this weekend. This town is sooo stuck back in time, I couldn't even tell you what decade. Fasion-wise early 90's, political/religious views maybe 1960? Haha maybe not. But anyway, I love it there.

Is this a word?

This is a random vending machine in the Treat restaurant aka the home the BEST MILKSHAKES EVERRRRRRR.

These are some of the prizes you can apparently win...

This is Robie. You feed him money. I just love it because that has been there since I was like, 6 years old, and probably before that.

How often can you get Pepsi and Coke from the same fountain thing?

A middle school in the area is putting on "Aladdin Jr." which is funny in itself, but the best was that they took pictures of the kids and imposed them on the pictures of the animated characters.

Ahhh, good times.

I'll be 25 Friday.

AHHH!

Come see Hello Dolly at JFK High School this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. :)

mike - 03/26/08 17:40

probably the first of several...
...posts about the weather. YIKES! I'm awake at 7 AM on a Saturday morning for no reason really. But of course I was tempted to look outside. Wowza. I don't think I'll be going running today?

I never post anymore. Maybe I have nothing to talk about anymore? That's sad. Ooh I found out that I was accepted to the grad school of my choice, so I will be living in Chicago for about six weeks this summer, and the next two summers too! I'm so pumped.

There are fewer things in the world that are funnier than high school musical productions.

Oh, and if you've ever gone to college/lived in a dorm, read this.



Well, stay warm and stay inside. Hopefully those two can go hand in hand for almost everyone.
