Google announced yesterday that Jackson, MS is one of 37 new areas that have been added to their Street View Maps.

To celebrate Street View’s one year birthday, I am very happy to announce we are bringing Street View to 37 (you heard me – 37!) new areas and we have expanded coverage in 15 of our existing areas. All in all, this effectively doubles our coverage. Link : Street View turns 1, keeps on growing

Between this and the new Real Estate maps there is a lot to take in on Google Maps for the Jackson area. Now you can easily find Real Estate for sale and get an instant view of the street and neighborhood, all from the comfort of your computer.

Now this is a great story, and we need more of this type of stuff in the news.

Seems that the team led by John and Frank Abele have located the USS Grunion which disappeared in July of 1942. Their father Mannert L Abele was the commander of this sub.

They have a website and blog documenting their work. The last post is Status Report August 24th #2 and has some great photos they uploaded to Picasa.

Since the temperature outside is holding around 100 during the day, I think tomorrow I will research the best way to watch movies on the Internet. I have seen a lot of information for free movies on the Internet and I just wonder how many of those are legal and easily accessible?

I spend more time on the computer than in front of a television so watching movies on the Internet sounds like it might be a good option. I tend to watch old movies over and over while I work on the computer, it is probably just to have background noise, but I do enjoy a good old movie.

This is the kind of news that makes me think I am really out of touch. Is it a big deal? It must be for $5 billion dollars, does it impact me, I don’t know.

If you read up on Rupert Murdoch you may or may not like what you learn. He sounds like a tyrant, but, at the same time I know I like some of the companies that he owns. So it is hard to say what the impact is. For a simple man like me I wonder what drives a 76 year old billionaire to continue buying up anything. You can’t take it with you, and you already have enough to leave your family so they can become the next batch of spoiled rich kids with no regards to working their way through things.

So why?

Is it just the game?

It is hard to believe we have reached this time of the year again. It is the official first day of summer, but I can tell you summer has been in full swing for several weeks where I live. I can always tell because there is a constant stream of young people in and out of the house.

I wonder if there has been any studies done on how the Summer Solstice affects Internet usage and Television watching, since the longest day of the year gives everyone more time to stay outside, remember outside?

This hurts, really hurts, but, I have to give credit where credit is due.

It is obvious that Hillary Clinton learned some things from Bill. Former President Bill Clinton understood how to work a crowd and give a speech, and now Hillary shows the rest of the candidates how to connect with the new Internet generation. Her Soprano’s Spoof video was excellent and has certainly led to a lot of attention via the Internet.

Not sure that her selection of a Celine Dion tune was the right choice though.

I finally settled on Bloglines for the Blogroll and Del.icio.us for my Links. I have been using Bloglines for over a year now as my main RSS Reader and have been extremely satisfied with it. I tired several other solutions but nothing gave me the ease of use and features that Bloglines offer.

Del.icio.us is rather new to me, but, a solution I have been needing for years. Social Bookmarking is clearly a step in the right direction for a Netizen.
