Zoom-in all the way. Those crazy programmers at Google......

Man, those programmers made a pretty "cheesy" joke.

We could ask Google to take a satellite picture of bste_lax's work site, zoom in on his building, and then voila, we will zoom in to see Benson working furiously on the computers.

Obviously not that far zoomed in, but you can already do this. If you go to maps.google.com, type in any address in the search bar (or even directions - for example, "100 main street, boston, ma to 1600 pennsylvania avenue, washington, dc") and click search. It will come up with a map similar to MapQuest. But then click on the "Satellite" button to see actual pictures of your map. Zoom in pretty far too. Pretty cool tool.

I agree with you, Gregg, as I have done that several times as I have already zoomed in on my house. That is quite a nifty tool. If there is technology available, we can see Matt Benson close-up with his smiling face and his waving hand at us.

i was gonna do that, but i was afraid that secret service would show up at my door asking what i was doing checking out satellite pictures of the white house.
