Ecogeoman has discovered Google Earth. He has been saying things like, "I just can't believe how high tech this seems!" and "This program is awesome!" I agree, Ecogeoman.
Last night, he said, "so, is there some website or something where I can put in two cities, and it will tell me how far apart they are? Or maybe give me directions and the travel time?"
While living under his rock, EGM independently invented Mapquest.
I responded, "yeah, and wouldn't it be cool if there was a website where you could type in words and it would tell you all the websites that are related to those words?"
EGM said, "I know about Google, thanks."
So tonight, he downloaded Google Earth and is still discovering its treasures.
Sometimes it's pretty fun at our place.

That's hilarious! Although I shouldn't laugh...in my household, that would be me!
LOL! Just wait until he finds his house on Google Streetview (they are taking over your neighborhood, aren't they?)!
I guess being a graduate student is kinda like being under a rock. We all just miss different aspect of the culture that surrounds us.
LOL! I've done this before. (I once said, "you know there should be rooms near my lab that I could just store my stuff and sleep in at night." Labmate's reply was, "they're called dorms.")
Can I just say that this has been amusing me all day ... I love that Ecogeoman "invented" map quest!
this is hilarious.
