Google Navigation FAIL

Current location to "home"

Current location to "home"

So today, Google delighted all the Android 1.6 “Donut” users by releasing the Google Maps with Navigation app.  Of course, this was downloaded immediately onto the phone.  This evening at home, while playing with the app, I requested directions from my current location to “home” and what you see in the below image is what it did!  Fantastic!  :)

Stumbling the World Wide Web

So I was doing some more Stumbling (www.stumbleupon.com) this morning, and found some amazing photos.

Linux, Hockey and Late Nights

So I’m sitting here waiting for the COL – VAN game to start on the inDemand HD channel, and I decided to start messing around with Linux again in the VirtualBox application.  I have Ubuntu 8.04 (yes, I know it’s an older distro) installed, and I’m installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions right now to give some better performance.

The game is starting, so I’m going to watch that, but wish me like in yet another endeavor into Linux!

Speed Test: How fast is my Internet?

Ran another test this evening.  This was the result this time.  This is almost two hours later in the evening, and about 60% of the speed.
