I love google street view..unfortunately I’m trying to figure out what time they drove by my house cuz I only see my roommates car in the driveway and not mine or Liz’s!

So I’m surfing through the ‘net trying to keep my mind occupied and not on the fact that my Hunter is at the AVC alone in the dark likely (shit that didn’t work).. anyhow, and I came across a link to Google Books.
This is the first link that I came across here was from Popular Mechanics and I must say that it was pretty interesting (well, other than the first ad I noticed was for a blackhead extractor of some sort that looked like a dirty needle). Anyhow.. the magazine …

Hmm.. is that a plus? I really don’t know.. seems that if I find something that I want in Alberton, it may be hard to get it on a timely basis.. however I suppose the fact that it’s pretty much the same as UsedPei.com now in that it covers the entire Island, it may not be a bad thing..
They’ve done it all across Canada actually..

Google capturing Charlottetown streets
The internet giant Google is roaming the streets of Charlottetown this week, capturing images for its Street View feature.
Street View shows ground-level pictures of streets, allowing users to take a virtual walk through neighbourhoods, and is available through Google maps for many locations around the world.
But not for Canada. Canada’s privacy commissioner has issues with Street View, because any person or car who happens to be on the street when the Google photo car passes is included in the internet …
