Two New Things to Explore


Google's Street View is fun to try. My own street has not yet been photographed by Google, but maybe yours has. Go to Google and type Google Street View in the search box and watch the tutorial. Then try your own address and see if the Google photo/film team have been in your neighborhood!

Have you tried the newest search engine? Wikipedia has launched a new search engine using the same elements/principles as their "encyclopeida". It has not received great reviews, yet, but is worth trying just for curiousity's sake....

Have fun searching, we'll find all the answers soon....

I went to Street View and saw that we need to cut down or trim the trees in front of our house because it looks like only birds live on our property. 'Twas a funny revelation!
