Tour the Pyramids
I was feeling bored yesterday so I created this tour of the world's great pyramids (ancient and modern). To view the tour you will need to have the Google Earth browser plug-in and be using Windows.
Guess the Flags Game
Guess the Flags is a new interactive game using the Google Maps API. The rules are very simple. You are shown a flag and you have to guess which country it is from. The answer appears above the correct country, your score is updated and and you move onto the next flag.

Palin's View
After submitting the Sarah Palin video above Virender Ajmani also decided to recreate Sarah Palin's view of Russsia from Alaska on Google Earth.
From the Alaskan island of Little Diomede you can see the Russian Island of Big Diomede which sits about 25 miles from the Russian Siberian mainland.
Virender has created a KML file so you can pretend to be Sarah Palin and look at Russia from the United States on Google Earth.
Virender is a mild mannered software developer by day but by night he is a map making superhero. You can read more about his nightly exploits in the Globe and Mail.
