Google Indiana

So I was playing with Google Earth today and I noticed that the state of Indiana is grey. Why is that?

My suspicion is that Indiana has more detailed maps than the rest of the country. When you take a satellite picture close to the ground it is likely that there is more grey than green in any given shot. The green on the map is due to artificial coloring in areas that are not yet imaged up-close. Any other guesses?

Mad props to Indiana for being well mapped. Woo woo.

back to childhood

Did I miss something in my childhood? Is there any particular reason that I, at the ripe age of 23, love arts & crafts? At 15 you couldn't pay me to walk into Michaels, but today when I go there I feel like I'm in heaven.

The other morning I went to the park in my neighborhood and played on the swings. I often yearn to be back at camp, on my bunk, just chatting with friends. Don't get me wrong, I love being a grown-up, but there's just something about being a kid that would be so fun right about now.

I better get to work, before the boss catches me and The Man brings me down.
