I’ve been planning to move this blog from Blogger for quite some time now, and I believe the time and necessity has come.
Considering the features and advantages of having a blogging platform installed on a personal domain, I have decided to go ahead with WordPress as my choice.
The transfer could take some time, so please bear with any inconvenience that is caused during this process…
Thank the Google Maps team!!!
Now, we get to see impressive street view sights in full-screen. I believe its even more eye-catching and stunning navigating around in full-screen if you got a sizeable lcd monitor.
User taken photos of the location are also available for viewing in full-screen.
Launch street view in full-screen by clicking

From Matt’s Geography Blog:
The Mother Jones website has an interactive map depicting the presence of U.S. troops around the world for every half-decade since 1950 plus 2007.
Use the slider at the base of the map to see a timed animation of troop strength from 1950 through 2007. Zooming into a region and placing the map cursor on a country lists the number of troops and stationed sites. The site describes the source being Pentagon worldwide troop data.
If you are wondering as to why there is a change of Google logo on its homepage today, its because today is the longest day of the year aka Summer Solstice, and the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Today, the sun is directly overhead at noon at the Tropic of Cancer and on the day of Winter Solstice, around 22nd of December, the sun is overhead at noon at the Tropic of Capricorn, which marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
