I love Google Maps. It’s still just a tad better in my opinion than the new Yahoo! Maps BETA. Both of which are tons better than the now antiquated MapQuest. Anyhow, there are a ton of things users can do with Google Maps. Here’s a cool example I’ve run across. It’s a map showing the highest point in each state in the US:
Month: January 2006
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Becky! Have a wonderful day and a great weekend (I know she’s loving the fact that the Super Bowl isn’t the same weekend as her birthday this year).
She’s here!
The cousin count just keeps growing.
Congratulations to Laurie, Justin, and now big brother Chi. Their new addition arrived earlier today. Name is still pending, more details to follow.

iTunes & QuickTime updates
Just a word of warning…
Some people, particularly those running 10.3.9 (which most of us are), are experiencing some severe disk problems with the new update to iTunes, version 6.0.2. So, my advice for now is to stay clear of this update until things get figured out.
You can read more about some of these issues at Macintouch and at MacFixit.
Cribsakes 2006
In case you haven’t visited Cribsakes yet in the new year, Becky’s site is almost 100% up. You can now see close ups of each announcement, and we’re finally set up to take orders online. Go check things out if you get a chance. And please refer any friends or family who might be interested.
Finally, she’s completed a couple of new designs for 2006. I soon as I can get to work on incorporating them into the website, then they’ll be up. Hopefully in the next few days.
Outage…
Sorry for the brief outage today. I was updating some of the files that run our blog and though it was all working fine when I checked just after upgrading, when I visited tonight all that would come up was a blank page. Solution… I had to roll back to the backups I made just prior to updating. If I get a chance tomorrow I’ll take another crack at the upgrade. If not, at least everything is working fine now.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all our friends and family! Have a great 2006.
