It’s been a few months since I last played around with Google Earth, and I read in the Google blog about engineers using Google Earth to move a statue of Ramses II (and the author of the post included a link to an overlay showing the route they’re going to take — how cool is that?), so I downloaded the new beta and off I went. I also picked up the USGS earthquakes overlay, which is exceedingly cool. I had no idea California was so riddled with earthquakes, and ditto for the Aleutians and the Puerto Rico region. Crazy:

So yeah, I want to be a geography major now. :) (I could get a master’s in geography after I get my MLS…) My home teacher just switched majors to Geospatial Intelligence, a brand-new major fresh from the president’s office. But I can’t find any information on it online yet (but they did put up the schedules for winter semester, which is nice).
Update: I just read on National Geographic that Pluto is officially not a planet any more. ~sob~ Only eight planets. Weird.
