Google Earth

Friday, July 1st, 2005

I just found out that google released a cool new app called Google Earth which lets users access satellite imagery of specific places around the world. As of the moment, the download is temporarily down so I couldn’t download it yet. I hope it works in this crappy computer. I don’t think their images of the Philippines will be detailed but I still want a satellite view of my address. I hope that’s possible. Here’s a sample of what it can do.


This is the Golden Gate Bridge. I put it here since I miss SF.

The twilight time

Friday, July 1st, 2005

I guess it’s another nocturnal marathon for me. I don’t know…I keep on telling myself that I should sleep in the “proper” time but 80% of me resists it. I just don’t like sleeping during night time. Heck, I don’t like sleeping at all. Night is perfect for me. I like the stillness and the lower temperature. Nobody is awake to bother me except other nocturnal beings. My net connection is also faster. Problem is, I need to have a normal sleeping pattern in order to function in the real world. I took a job with a graveyard shift before but it totally sucked because I prefer to be home during these hours. There were other problems with that job of course but that’s just one thing. A 9 to 5 job is a drag but at least I could interact with other people during that time. It’s a good thing that I’m on “indefinite leave” from work because I don’t know how I could stay awake in that boring 9 to 5 job (10 to 6 actually).
