I quite enjoyed using Google Maps to find TypePad members near New York City. Or, you know, dog lovers near Peoria.

My patented "flickr near sfo" style of querying maps.google.com is copyrighted. I invented it. You are basically stealing bread from inside of my mouth - the bread that I was going to feed my family with, and bread that I have already chewed -- this bread you have taken from me with no compensation and no remorse. And now you are eating it. And putting it on my blog. But in the end people will know whose bread it is. The rich and powerful cannot boss us around ANY LONGER.

The map data keeps loading from http://mt.google.com/ which is freaking me out, because I had an install of MovableType at a URL like that before.

Stewart, I heard that your family was offered bread but you turned it down. Would you care to comment?

Google Maps has a great interface. I was amused to see that a search for "communists in washington dc" returned the Trilateral Commission and Freedom House. I guess all those stories were true.
