Online Maps

[another in an occasional series of posts in the wow-what-a-cool-and-potentially-useful-website series]

This Online map of Switzerland has an interface that makes every other map site I've ever seen look pathetic. Click-and-drag, a combined map/photo view, resize to browser window.

Brilliant. It's be even better if there was one for an area I'm intending to visit soon.

Seen: Memento

[IMDB]

Despite the film starting at the end of the story, it's difficult to say anything about Memento without spraying spoilers all over the place. Boy, am I glad I just watched it cold, without reading the back of the DVD box first.

Damn good, in a head-fuck sort of way.
