Thing 8

I think I skipped Thing 8, so here goes:

Of all the mashups I looked at Locale - the random day out generator http://www.webmashup.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=170 was my favorite. You can any zip/postal code in a number of different countries and this site will provide you with a map, access to Microsoft Virtual Earth or Google Satellite pictures and a list of places to go and things to see in the immediate vicinity. It sometimes shows pictures of neigberhood buildings as well. Good tool if you are planning a trip.

Out of curiosity, I searched the Glenville area. One of the 8 suggestions they gave me on the itinerary was the Wilderness Taxidermy shop. Count me in! Ha!
