Google Earth 5.0- One of the most important computer programs available
    #9934028 - 03/08/09 03:22 PM (15 years, 23 days ago)

I've always loved google earth and used it a lot, but last night I went to update it and increase the terrain detail. Now I CANNOT stop using it. It's so amazing, and for me like switching from a Tandy computer to the computer I have now.

http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

Enjoy! You get to see EVERYTHING. My traveling aspirations are going strong again because of this program and I'm probably going to get rid of all my stuff (again) and go WWOOFing this summer.

Ohhh, Im gonna update it right now.

I have been using Google Earth alot lately, checking out areas for a possible move.  Its great, a little creepy, but still great.

Thx for the word.

Willing Workers on Organic Farms.

Work on a farm, get paid in food and lodging, and possibly molestation or voyeurism.

interesting... do you travel to do that? do they pay for it? or you just go and they give you the stuff?

seems like it would be kind of cool.

never heard of that.

All you pay for is the WWOOF manual that lists the farms. Then you drive wherever you want, and make arrangments with whomever you want for anytime up to 1 day - 2 weeks or longer if you make friends with them.

Yeah, 5.0 is buggy for me to.  I wish I hadn't installed it until it was out of beta.
