Ghosts on the streets

So, I needed to check an address but Google suddenly offered me a new option to see the map.

 

And, naturally, I clicked on it.

Certainly the best way to walk the streets of California!

Search your mind

Googling has definitely improved..

After a number of hopeless attempts to remember a movie's name, I thought I should give Google a try.

So I did all I could with the information I had. I entered: "movie two men city in Europe kill boss". And there it was - the first result on the first page. "In Bruges".

Now I am a little scared. Did Google actually search my mind?

Hating (Mondays)

Forget what you're searching for

Today Google is in play mood.

Go to google.com today, or check the doodles list is a few days, to spend some old-school fun time.

Running with fins

That's one of those funny things on Google Maps.

Some time ago (before they blurred it)  you could see more of those two guys sitting by a street in Norway, dressed in scuba-diving equipment.. and then running after the Google Maps camera-car.

Even though the original view is now hidden, when you play around the map, you can still see some pictures of the original Google Maps street view.

Name translation

What does Google think about your name?

Say: "cheese"!

Since I found this website I am considering going through the world map to see if they didn't catch me at some embarrassing moment.. Not that there are any I can think of..

Retrospection: step 1

A few days ago, on March 3rd, Bulgaria had a national holiday - Liberation day.
Google did not forget to congratulate us its own way:

The background is our flag, and the monument on the place of "L" is Shipka Memorial.

The monument was once on the banknote with the smallest nominal value - 1 lev. When I was 5 or so, I went there with my granddad. After running up the 894 steps, I got so impressed with the memorial, that I started to refuse (birthday) money unless it was a 1 lev banknote... Now I'm a little more mercantile then 20 years ago, but I would love to hold in my hands that pinkish piece of paper once again..

A little moment of happiness..

..in my day.. caused by one of those "little things", as people call them.

I just noticed that someone (or maybe it's not the same person) has pressed the "Recommend this on Google" button on several of the posts here. You may think I'm crazy, but it made me smile that someone was happy with what I shared. :)

Thank you for that smile! :)
