I was just playing around on Google Earth and thought it would be interesting to see where we all physically are, possibly even put together a composite of some kind. (Perhaps a Google Earth overlay?)

What I'd like to see here is a Lat/Lon that is as accurate to your primary computer as possible. If you regularly post from work, give that, if it's at home, list that. I'm just curious where everyone is typing from.


Here's Mine:

I haven't got Google Earth installed, so this is the best I can do.
I live here (http://maps.google.com/?ll=63.81182,20.310802&spn=0.039015,0.144539&t=k)

Ditto...

Google is unable to deal with more than two dimensions. See my location.

Google Earth does really well with 3-Dimensions, but that 4th is a bitch.

Google Applications all seem to have issues with privacy. I'd rather not install one. Google Maps misses my street address by about a mile, so I can't use it, either.

Ditto, I'm a privacy freak. My underwear size is none of anybody else's business.

I don't know nor care to determine my location.

I am wearing 34' shorts, as if anyone cares. :)

Hmmm. You must be an alien to wear 34 foot long "shorts".

I interviewed at Google last month. The Google Maps directions that they gave put the building that I needed to go to across the street.

I know you Americans tend to be fat, but that's just getting ridiculous.

Google Earth doesn't show my 2.5 year old house. It still shows an empty lot.

Obviously, you're just not important to Google. Maybe Microsoft loves you.
