    Hank Green of the Vlogbrothers explains a new Google product that helps to illustrate the change to the face of our planet over the past 25 years.  These changes are pretty staggering.

    So my computer died over winter break.

    and I wasn’t able to back up my Google Earth data because the computer couldn’t even turn on.  Now I’m scouring the internet for old backups and the oldest I can find is from Dec 2010.  2 years of lost Data. kinda depressing.

    thedailywhat: Beautiful Pipedream of the Day: U.S. High Speed Rail Map Curb your enthusiasm, this is not an actual map of the U.S. high speed rail, but a concept map designed by Alfred Twu. The artist’s vision for a nationwide high-speed rail system (220 miles-per-hour) would run across the entire country from coast-to-coast and make stops at a number of major cities and metropolitan areas along the way. In harsh reality, however, hopes for jump-starting the national infrastructure project seems to be hanging by a thread at the moment, which is already overdue when compared to other nations in the industrialized world. TRAAAAAAAINS! Why isn’t this a thing yet?

    This has been bothering me…

    matthewkeys:

    In the Pitbull song “International Love,” Chris Brown mentions three cities in the chorus: New York, Los Angeles and Miami.

    Those are all in the same country, Chris. That’s not international.
