and also weird, how is anyone supposed to find my map post thing on flickr? I guess google "my childhood seen by google maps?"

What a terrific idea. I've already done one map and am working on more.

I had to Google it to find it, mathowie. I found it weird they didn't even mention that you did the project on Flickr.

Yes, I am a genius.

No, I'm really not- I just read the newspaper. And Metafilter.

No, I meant that you've seemed pink.
