Just came across a link to this project. It is an interactive Google Earth map of fallen American & Coalition servicemen & women who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afganistan:

This Memorial Day I would like to share with you a personal project of mine that uses Google Earth to honor the more than 5,700 American and Coalition servicemen and women that have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have created a map for Google Earth that will connect you with each of their stories—you can see photos, learn about how they died, visit memorial websites with comments from friends and families, and explore the places they called home and where they died.


You need Google Earth 5.0 to view the map.

Bindlestiff Family Cirkus

http://www.bindlestiff.org/ <-- main site

and

http://www.thebindlestiffs.com/ <--- Just webisode documentary

I saw these guys featured on an HBO series. They go from kiddie shows to 'adult themed' shows. Watching the webisodes is a great way to see how the small circuses are still operating when all anyone seems to hear about is Ringling Brothers and Cirque du Soleil.

You can also listen to them on your scanner if you can receive ham frequencies. They are listed on the NASA page, IIRC.

Just happened upon a link for these on some webpage I was viewing. I think it is a neat idea.

Historic Aerial photographs.

It doesn't have anywhere near complete coverage of the US yet, but my town is covered, and yours may be too. I can look at aerial pictures of my neighborhood in 1949, 1962, 1979, 2002, and 2003. It interesting to see what my neighborhood looked like before it was bisected by Route 66. All these streets that currently dead end at a sound barrier wall used to pass through and connect the neighborhood. You can even see the construction of the highway in the 1979 shot.

The site is not as good as Google Earth, but if you are patient, there's a lot to see there. And Google Earth won't take you back in time. There are lots of annoying watermarks, but if you pan around and zoom in and out, they will shift to different locations.

Numbers 1 and 2 are the ones I've heard (and seen video) about so I tend to think all of these are true.
