Google has officially released an API, for Google Maps.

A bit from the official announcement–

The Google Maps API is a free toolkit that enables developers to create computer programs that interact directly with the Google Maps system. With the Google Maps API, developers can embed
Google Maps in their own web pages with JavaScript.

Also noteworthy is that this new Maps API can be found right alongside the previously released APIs launched by Google including Google Web API, Google AdWords API and the Google Desktop API.

So Kari and I went to to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith last night, and I must say I was rather impressed. From beginning to end, this movie was definately entertaining.
I give this movie 2 thumbs up, and a definate recommendation, for anyone who likes Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, to go see this movie!

Bud Light advert parody

Friday, June 24th, 2005 at 3:20 pm

While sitting here at this contraption I like to call my computer, browsing the internet.. and checking people’s AIM away messages.. I happened to come across this one. Read it, laugh about it, and think to yourself about just how true this really is.

Today we salute you, Mr. Compulsive Away Message Checker. While most people are out actually having a fun life, you are at home reading about it on your computer screen. Right mouse click, Get Buddy Info, or the little Info box at the bottom of the Buddy List. You have people on that list you haven’t talked to in years, but you still loyally read their away messages every day to see what they’re up to (borderline stalking). So, crack open an ice cold Bud Light, Marauder of the Mouse Pad, and don’t wander too far from your computer because you never know when someone’s away message may change.
