New Feature: Google Map-based Archives
This is an extreme work-in-progress, but I wanted to point out that I've made google map-based archives for some of my entries. Yeah, some—this stuff takes for freakin' ever to input and format. I'd almost be willing to pay someone to do it. Almost. I just have a few more years of archives to get through and I'm done! Haha! Kill me please!
You'll definitely want to view the larger versions of the maps. I hope you find this feature helpful; many priceless hours of sitting on my butt went into it. I benefit from the maps too, of course; with a quick glance I can see how far my gorging has taken me. It's rather frightening.
(Oh yeah, I do plan on my next entry to actually be of the "food review" category. Too busy and tired to do it right now though. PLEASE STAND BY.)

hey :)
This is kind of a random comment, but kind of not b/c it relates to maps. Anyhoo, I know in one of your previous posts you mentioned you have a gps tracker. Would you recommend getting one? I'm considering it, but how reliable do you think they are? Any advice would be awesome! :)

Hey guys, I'm glad you like the maps! SO MANY HOURS OF PAIN...FOR YOU!!!
Sarah: If you want to drive around a lot without maps, then a GPS tracker is really useful. ;) However, relying on one kinda sucks cos they have a tendency to take you on messed up routes. You'll get to your destination, just maybe not as quickly as if you had just looked at a normal map. If I'm driving alone it's GPS all the way.

Carrot: Mmk, I think I have to draw the line at embedding youtube videos into my comments, haha. ;) I didn't really understand what the video had to do with this post either.. ._.?
Tina: OH NO, don't to it, it's too much work. But now that I've started I think I have to finish. Wah.
Joanh: Yay, us bleary eyed people must stick together in our bleariness.

OMG, I'm jealous! Not of the butt sitting though, but I just realised you live in NY and I've never even been there. My living in the cheese city of Holland does SO not compare to that.. *sighs and eats more cheese*
