google MAPS
Oh my, Google's done good again. DHTML-driven (IE/Firefox only right now, I believe, but YMMV) maps service. Driving directions, yellow pages, etc. Drag-the-map with your mouse, DHTML controls, no more of that click-wait, click-wait, click-wait, click-wait never-quite-right map manipulation. I like it A LOT. [maps.google.com]

If I didn't work at home,
this would be my commute.
I biffed the ending address,
but it's not that far off...shows
how often I go to the office.

A map of the coffeeshops
near my house. I only frequent
three of these, but it's actually
missing one so I don't know where
they've gotten their data.
That's why it's beta.
