It’s a Quiznos evening. How exciting.

Where am I, Google? →
Google has released a fascinating new feature for its mobile maps application called “my location.” I downloaded the new version of Google Maps for mobile tonight and tried it out. It wasn’t quite as accurate as a GPS, but was only off by about 200 yards. Not bad.
Checking out new google mobile maps. Not completely accurate, but very close.

Google adds terrain to maps →
Google has added a “terrain” button to Google Maps recently. This will make printing maps for hiking and backpacking cheap and easy.

Going to see Into the Wild and then off to pick up the pooch at the kennel.

Interface design survey →
The Art Institute of Atlanta is conducting an interesting survey about interface preferences on the web. The survey consists of 10 questions that simply require you to click on your preference.
I found the results pretty similiar with my own guesses of the survey, but I was wrong on one of them - the color question.

Loosening belt by one notch. Mmm gravy, is there nothing you can’t do?
Happy Thanksgiving →
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We’re in Des Moines, Iowa and it’s snowing just enough to make everything wonderfully picturesque.
It’s somewhere around 30F outside and the neighborhood kids are sledding down the little hills in their front yards.
The most important decision I will make today will probably involve gravy.
Take care, everyone.
Cranberry sauce shaped like a can is far better than saucy cranberry sauce. Although, I have no scientific proof.

Enjoying the snow flurries in Des Moines today. I miss the snow.
6 days. One carry-on. Plenty of fresh socks. Listening to Frank Black while I pack my bag. Rock it, people. Rock it.

Jive Talk →
I’ve been using Jive Talk for a few weeks on my Blackberry when I’m not in front of my computer and I want to ask a colleague a question (this usually means I’m in a meeting, training or otherwise occupied).
Jive Talk connects to several chat clients at the same time much like Trillian (for PCs) or Adium (for Macs). I use it to connect to my Google Talk and AIM accounts and it is seemless.

taking the dog to the kennel for our trip to Iowa.
Getting Flocked →
I downloaded Flock over the weekend and plan on kicking the tires for a few weeks to see if I like it. Flock is a browser based on the Mozilla FireFox browser (that you all should be using by now because it contains vitamins and minerals and buttery goodness and it works on lots of operating systems out there).
Flock does something FireFox doesn’t. It connects people to their social networks...
