Google just released Google Earth 5.0. In this version, not only can you explore the land of the Earth, but you can dive deep into the sea and explore the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean. It’s a free download available here.
Go Vols! Yes, I actually just said that. I actively cheer for any team playing the Tennessee Volunteers football team. Same for the men’s basketball team, and I take great delight in making fun of head coach Bruce “The Orange Goblin” Pearl on my blog. But the women’s basketball team… I just can’t pull against them… how can you not respect what Pat Summitt has accomplished. She’s a legend in her own time, up there with the all-time basketball coaching greats like Henry Iba and Adoph Rupp. Congratulations to Coach Summitt on her 1,000th victory. I watched the Lady Vols game from the Tap Room Thursday night while listening to IBC bands.
#14/15 Memphis plays #18 Gonzaga tonight at 8 PM on ESPN. A win tonight would surely put us in contention for at least a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament, maybe even a #2. Looks like some of the gang plans on gathering at the Silly Goose to watch the game.
Great weather today… high 69, low 52, according to the Weather Channel. I plan on working on the personal finance project and my websites for a good while today, but I’ll probably get out and walk around too.
