Birds Eye View with Virtual Earth

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Microsoft’s Virtual Earth now offers a birds eye view when viewing locations. You can still drag the map and zoom in, but also notice you can click on north, south, east or west to pivot your view, very cool.

Here are a few shots around Denver (too bad they are all in the Winter):
- Mile High Stadium
- Coors Field
- Capital Building
- Denver Zoo
- World Trade Center buildings Denver
- City and County Building

Five Little Known Facts About Me

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

Tomas, over at ‘The Closet Entrepreneur‘ has blog tagged me and well, I don’t want seven years bad luck, or whatever the penalty is for breaking the chain. So here are 5 little known (or not so known) facts about me.

1. The perfect day (according to me) would start at around 5:30am with a nice mocha latte. I would get in a round of 18 on the golf course, either Fossil Trace or Arrowhead would be real good.
Later that night the wife and I could meet some friends for some good mexican food and cervezas. And Finally, end the night at a jazz club listening to some cats play. Ah, that would be heaven to me.

2. The best book I ever read, ‘Ishmael‘ by Daniel Quinn. Favorite movie, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life‘. To me this movie just symbolizes life. You never know what impact your life has and who it effects until God unfolds it all for you in the end. Favorite album, Bob Marley ‘Exodus‘; this is a masterpiece of an album.

3. I am currently working on revamping my website ‘Search-This‘. I am moving it over to a WordPress CMS instead of the one I rolled several years back. So look for it in Q1 2007.

4. I have been married eight years and now have a lovely 6 month old daughter Sofia. She is the greatest thing to ever happen to me in my life. Yes, even better than my iPod.

5. I make my living at a small retail software company where me and two other guys are building a kiosk application. Hopfully, our application will get installed in 2007!

I guess that makes 5 things, so I’m done, if you want more it will cost you :)

I now will tag: Ben, Hubs, and Steve.
