Mike’s ramblings

AutoblogGreen has found an awesome video from Stephen Colbert’s show ‘The Colbert Report’. At the same time it is really funny (I really like his show) and shows how misleading the ad campaigns of the oil companies are. They split up how the money you pay for gas (in this case one dollar) is spent on their side. Profit is nowhere to be seen…

Today I stumbled across this photo on Panoramio and somehow I was flabbergasted. Not because it is a pretty picture, which it is, but because one can clearly see on the Google Map, that the mark where the photo was supposed to be taken is accurate down to the meter.

When I saw that page I could envision a future in which we just sit at home and visit places by clicking on a Google Map and it shows us a complete tour with videos and photos of everything. Admittedly not the most interesting thing from a social standpoint, but it shows us how far technology has progressed.

Does this page mean anything to you or does it leave you untouched?
