Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day!

Wikipedia defines Earth Day as "... a name used by two different observances held annually in the (northern) spring, both intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the vernal (March) equinox; while a global observance in many countries is held each year on April 22."

I love Google's Earth Day logo today:

Angie's Memphis Food -- My Google Maps

Google has added the ability to create and edit your own Google map, more easily than the mashup concept that I mentioned yesterday.

I've created "Angie's Memphis Food" for your next dining adventure-- check it out!

Google Maps Mashups -- Housing and Wine

I just love the Google Maps mashups that everyone seems to be doing these days!

I've even heard there's a new version out that allows users with little programming knowledge to put together their favorite things on a Google Map.

In the meantime, here are a couple of the interesting maps that I've found...

Housing Maps . com -- http://www.housingmaps.com/ -- Someone has put together the Craigslist postings on for sale and for rent places in major cities. You can see where the place is, map to it, look at pictures of it, etc. It's great and I highly recommend checking it out if you'll be moving anytime soon!

Well, I can't find the other one... it's a vineyard mapping API... if I find it, I'll be sure to share it.

For now though, goodnight!
