The world from above

Google Maps now covers many parts of the planet with sattelite images. I tried to visit the beautiful places where I have been last year once again. It's surprisingly easy to find places you already know on a sattelite map. The sattelite images are often blurry and low resolution only, but Beijing was amazingly sharp (just take a look at the Tiananmen Square to count people). Military reasons?

This is what I have found so far.

Microsoft presents IE 7

Firefox, is that you?! :D

Time to hurry

I have to finish my thesis this semester. Taking another semester is not an option for me since it would cost 500 Euros of tuition fee. There used to be no tuition fee in Germany; now Bavaria has them in some cases (which apply to me) "thanks" to our "brilliant" right-wing party leader of Bavaria... :(

I planned to finish it in summer anyway, so there shouldn't be a problem with tuition fee. :)
