Nerds on parade

Here is a strange use of Google Maps. Ok, it's the Internet, so one's nerdiest desires can be played out. On this site, you can create an X-men mutant identity and say if you are one of Professor X's kids or one of Magneto's bad boys (or girls.) It's global, I found someone in the hinterlands of Ethiopia, but also someone not far from Virginia Beach's Duck Inn. It's an pretty good marketing effort.

On the book front I started Cobra II, which is quite good so far, but might be too much for those suffering from Iraq book fatigue.
