One of the most interesting things about realizing your blog is due in short order is the gratifying amount of cool geographically related information you can find. Within a few minutes of my initial search, I was sifting through innumerable firefox tabs and their related windows. After several minutes of rigorous elimination, I choose links to Berkley University in California, to what must be the coolest travel blog in existence, and to a Youtube video.
I have to admit that the Youtube video is by far the least relevant, but still really cool.
Now, these are sites that make being a budding geographer so fun. They are a reminder that on the other side of these two years, we will have something. And it's also pretty cool to be doing the same work as cartographers from across the world and hundreds or thousands of years ago. And to know where Finland is and some pertinent side details about it's climate, geographic features, lifestyle etc. And to look at something cool like the 24 flight patterns and to know exactly where in the world all those little planes are going.
What’s better they all led me to more fun sites. Especially the (way more relevant) Youtube videos about Google Earth.

Wow! You could have posted at least twice Ellen. Thanks for sharing the travel blog; I love the photos on that site. The airline video sure shows us that there's a whole other world above us and another satellite world above that. Cool!
