The people at FboWeb.com have created a tool to track commercial airline flight paths live (5 minute delay) in Google Earth.

I captured this image of inbound traffic to Chicago O’Hare:
Even more amazing is the 3D view of a specific flight, showing not only location but also altitude and a recent flight path:

In a park last weekend Meredith M. spotted this sign.
However, we saw no blue flags; not that it mattered, because there was no ice to be found either; unless they meant shaved ice or ice cubes; but it was referring to the potential ice on the ponds in the winter presumably; which wasn’t possible anyway since the temp that day was probably in the high 70’s.
Well, that was different…

UPDATE: More Photos Here
Today GBS hosted the Spring Picnic. With perfect weather, the day was very enjoyable. I couldn’t pick just one photo to use here so I used Picasa’s “Collage” tool. I plan to post an album with more pictures soon!
Photos by various people!

I am retiring my old, worn, beaten 512MB USB Flash Drive. Today at Staples I found an amazing deal on a 2GB Sony Micro Vault Tiny drive to serve as a replacement. 4x the capacity and a fraction of the size makes the change easy!

On Saturday afternoon a group of us walked to nearby Eden Park to study. It proved to be a great day to be outside, and we even came away with the beginnings of a tan!
I also spent most of Sunday afternoon outside in northern KY. However: no camera = no pictures

Today was VIP Day (i.e. lots of perspective students come to visit the campus) here at GBS. Consequently, regular classes were canceled today but were replaced by various other events.
This evening the GBS Drama Team presented a life of missionary Lottie Moon in a powerful hour+ long feature.

With most people texting and typing these days, just what is the state of something so old-fashioned as handwriting? A recent study compared the handwriting of those <25 and those >45.

Saturday evening several of us went to Panera Bread near UC. There is a great area of the restaurant with comfortable chairs and huge windows. So far, the area has been very quiet and a great place to study away from the GBS campus.

Last evening Zach, Kristen, Alisa & I spent a wonderful evening off-campus, beginning with supper from Penn Station which we took to Devou Park in KY.
Later, a walk across the Purple People Bridge (no kidding, that’s its official name!) afforded us a great view of Cincinnati at night.

I recently started using two online services which I have found to be very useful. Both are free for the basic service (which is all I have need for right now).
- Mozy - An automatic online backup service which gives 2GB of storage for free. The client software installs on your computer and automatically regularly backs up the files/folders you choose.
- MediaFire - Sending large files to someone doesn’t get any easier than this: 1) upload file, 2) send text link to download. No registration is even required for either party, and files of up to 100MB each are supported for free.
