Google Maps are so cool. Here’s a bird’s eye, well, okay space monster’s eye view of where I’ve spent most of my time on Earth:
Where I Grew Up
Where I Went to College
Where I Call Home
Where I Work
Where I Go To School

Frightening Dream…
I had a dream last night where I was older, and my memory had begun to fade. That’s not the frightening part. The frightening part was that medical science had discovered that you never really loose any of your memories–they were all intact, in your mind, just awaiting retrieval. It turned out that the reason we became forgetful in old age wasn’t failing memory, it was an inadequate retrieval system. As we got older, we had so many memories accumulated, that our minds just couldn’t search them fast enough.
So we all had personal Google interfaces to our minds.
Yes, I dreamt that I had a personal Google interface in my own mind, and I was using it to recall my own memories.
Frightening.
