This just in from BoingBoing (they know everything first!)  Google has developed an add-on to the already amazing GoogleEarth.  Now you can view the sky as though you are standing on Earth.  You can zoom all around the sky looking at real images and view 100 million stars!

The most crowded pool in the world?

I know this is supposed to be a site about the latest games, gimmicks and fads on the internet, but I just had to post this. I guess my point by putting it on here is that this is something that I think is truly unbelievable - and yet it is real, it is actually happening in the world - and the web lets us experience events such as this.

So without any more chit-chat - this is a swimming pool in Japan.

Shark Hunting Game - Using REAL Sharks

This is cool

Sharkrunner

This site teaches you about sharks through a game. You are given a virtual boat and a virtual crew, and your mission is to hunt sharks - real live sharks fitted with GPS devices. Players are given a virtual boat and virtual crew. Designed by National Geographic, you go on a shark hunting mission. When your boat comes across a shark you are alerted by email or text message and you gather as much information as possible about that shark. But the best part is you are hunting REAL sharks (actual sharks swimming around in the ocean) with tracking devices attached to them. I guess Dr Evil had it right when he asked for “sharks with frick’n laser beams attached to their heads”…

I watched this video on You Tube.

What do you think??? I think, only in Asia. It is AMAZING that so many people know what to do and can get their act together to all do it at the SAME time…
