Up, Up and Away!
I installed Google Earth on my computer at work and have had fun zipping around the globe looking at satellite images of everything from my house to the Grand Canyon. You have a first person, overhead view as you lift off from one location and fly across the country (or around the world) to the next. I caught myself thinking, "This is what it must be like for Superman!" How nerdy is that?

I just downloaded it -- it's mighty cool. It's liek flying, only with my underwear worn inside my pants.
There's a great book by Neal Stephenson called Snow Crash. It's cyber-science-fiction, a la William Gibson. What's cool is that the main character uses a program that is very close to Google Earth.
