For those who don't know about it already.
This site is awesome, just zoom in and rotate the earth to where you want to go, then sit back and enjoy the awesomeness of the display.

Wow, that's a stunning visualization. Tufte would be proud. It will be interesting to view this along with Mike Godsay's Bay Area blogs posts.
