I’d love to try it out, but Google never releases anything for Mac at the same time they release it for PCs. I also want to check out their new Google Video, but the player is windows-only (disappointing because some of my video is on there and i wanted to check it out).

I used that back when it was still Keyhole’s software. Pretty cool. I orientated myself with the Las Vegas street plan prior to going there to prevent getting lost in a drunken state. It served me well.
I’ve been in the Colosseum in Rome. Now that’s an amazing place. I’d love to go back in time and sit in a sell-out Colosseum watching navy battles or gladiators knock eachother out.
