I always knew those countries were up to no good. I saw them looking at us funny.

It’s only a matter of  time (only a few eons away!!) that these continents will rejoin and conquer the globe in a few bites.

Ah, yes. Functional jewelry. For people who’ve just migrated to the big city (as in, New York) and haven’t found themselves acclimated, consider dropping $23 on designer Tiffany Burnette’s wristcuff-thingy. It’s a metal cuff bracelet with the entire map of the subway on it. And by entire map, I mean Manhattan minus the ghetto areas uptown. Made in New York, for New Yorkers.

I’ve always questioned the layout of The Simpsons’ home town of Springfield. There are many speculations as to what state Springfield lies in, but this interactive map put together by a dedicated fan just might hold the clues to my curiosity.

You’d almost forget all the hot locales riddled through out the town of Springfield if there wasn’t such an abundance of them. You could head on over to Sportacus for some sports equipment then later go to Java the Hut for a coffee. Who would have thought there would be so much to do in the state of Oregon? Hit the link below to experience a virtual Springfield.

You awake from your bed. It’s a Monday morning. You throw on the coffee pot, blink a few times and open up Gearfuse. Great. An NPR Map.

It may not be exciting like a bunch of light up dildos, but it’ll keep you entertained for sure. With this NPR Map, you’ll be able to find out what your local NPR station is no matter the state/city/town/watering hole. Search around the map and I’m sure you’ll spot WHYY on there.

The future of Internet searching has a strong future, especially as long as companies like the world-dominating Google keep making the most of mobility and advanced search algorithms. The Internet Search: Mobile Version incorporates a touchscreen, built-in camera, WiFi, Google Map and Search, and image recognition to produce a search platform like nothing we’ve never seen.

If you’re wondering what a word means of what building you are standing near, just whip out the mobile searcher and touch the translucent display as you would any touchscreen. The device then conducts a search of the area you clicked on using its image recognition and camera to find search matches for your criteria. (more…)

As you sit and look through your old photos, your bound to come across a few that make you debate whether you are a flagrant alcoholic. Where the hell was this picture taken and why are my balls taped to my ass? Sound familiar? Anybody? Well, then. The Sony GPS-CS1KA GPS allows for you to add in a location to your image, in addition to the usual time and date listed in the exif file.

When you use the special Picture Motion Browser in conjunction with Google Maps, the software creates a webpage featuring all of your photos, represented by push pins over a map image. Oh, okay, so I was in Tijuana when that pic was taken. That explains it. — Andrew Dobrow

Want to make a geek take a second glance? Try setting up one of these real Google Map icons somewhere in your town. Watch as the geeks fear over their sanity. “I think I was on the computer way to long last night”. The fear of being brainwashed will drive them mad.

This would be an absolutley awesome idea for a candid camera trick. We would laugh with complete glee. Mwahaha. — Andrew Dobrow
