... has eaten my brain. This is SO COOL. I finally broke down and downloaded the Mac OS version, and this is most definitely NOT how I was planning on spending my day, but ... SO COOL! Right now I'm in Kyrgyzstan. I just can't get over the awesomeness of being able to zoom in on these places that I've only read about. I've always loved maps, and this is like maps only about 50x cooler.

Let's see what Tibet looks like!
