Memory Lane

I just found the address of my elementary school in Kearny, NJ. I was actually surprised to find that the 6 blocks from Schuyler all the way to my old apartment building are all covered by google maps. I 'walked' the old way using the maps and from the looks of it, it hasn't changed much at all save for a few trees here and there I remember.

Its bizarre, but now I know I can go back and expect to recognize it all. I walked that way everyday between the ages of 5 and 7. I remember it so clearly, and seeing it from a camera view like that just makes it all flood back. All the random moments, the way certain fences look from my 6 year old line of vision, and how the shade of trees would hit streets differently in the early morning vs in the afternoon right after school... just wow...

Lending a hand

I'm doing a little pro-bono work making site updates to Dream-Discover-Cure.org Our VP here at work is dedicated to it and they're always looking for people with some computer skills to be able to keep their content updated. Its simple for me and helps them out by not having to pay the folks in India they used to have do it. ^_^
