Google Flight Status

I used Google Mobile on my PocketPC to check the flight status of Dustin's flight when he was arriving and I didn't hear from him when he landed.
It worked beautifully and it was as simple as typing the airline, the word "flight" and the flight number.
The results looks like this and was super helpful to have in my hand.
"Thanks Google, as you take over the world, I am glad to know information is so easy to obtain."

Now I just need to find a website that will tell me when flights I am expecting are late via SMS.

Google Phone

I just heard that the new Google phone is out. I just heard from a friend who just got it and loves it.

It seems to me to be another iPhone wanna be. If you want the iPhone, just go get it. *wink* Okay, that's a little dramatic. I am sure this has some special features that the iPhone does not.

If Starbucks and Google were people, they might just take over the world.

Find out more HERE on the Google website and HERE on T-Mobile's website.

It does not look that overpriced with a $399.99 retail and a instant rebate of $220.00 making it a mere $179.99 online. CLICK HERE

...stay tuned for more.

Google Street View

Wow, I am a little scared now.
I checked out this Google Street View thing and it's utterly amazing.
How do they do that?

I checked out my apartment in Hollywood and short of going to the front door, it's crazy how real that it. ...it's like being there.
I checked out my Las Vegas apartment and it feels like I am in the car ready to turn into the driveway of the apartment complex.
I checked out my parents house. I can tell both of them were home because both my mom and dad's cars were in the driveway. Whoa.
I checked Hamburger Mary's in an effort to not post directions to my front door and I feel a LITTLE better that it's a little outdated. (Bejing Cafe is pictured here and has not been next to Hamburger Mary's for months.) However, this is still unreal to me how technology can do that.

I am serious, if you have not done this, you may want to check it out for yourself. Go to http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/index.html and find out why THIS COUPLE had enough of it.

Here's an idea of funny things that camera has caught. NOTE TO SELF: Don't do that stuff outside anymore. http://www.gstreetsightings.com/
