Well, you know me, I am the techy guy. And while looking for stuff for work tonight, I came across an awesome new program by the high tech folks at Google. It is called Google Earth.
Check it out at http://earth.google.com.
You do need to have a high speed connection to use this. It utilizes the Google servers to pull the images and 3D graphics as well as it has Google search capabilities built in.
Watch as you install this though. It, like all Google toys, tries to install the Google toolbar. So if you don't want that, be sure to watch for the spot during installation that asks if you want to install it, and remove the checkmark.
Once you get it installed, try some cool searches. I was playing with ones like: Washington DC, Mount Rushmore, Dallas TX, Empire State Building, and Will Rogers World Airport.

it is awesome! we found it a while back and have been playing with it.
Yea, it is really cool. Didn't know anyone had found it. We got a guy at work that is thinking of trying to figure the programming out and make us something like that, but that will be a while down the road..haha..
