The Big Tech Firm in my Backyard

One of the fringe benefits of having one of the world's largest software firms in your region is that sometimes you get special coverage. I don't know if that is the case for Microsoft's beta release of local.live.com but this website is pretty darn cool. Zoom in to your Seattle neighborhood and note how you can view the same parcels with oblique aerials from each of the four cardinal directions. Too cool. A great way to see some of those corridors of green that form between our single-family homes.
