Geeks on Tour Newsletter: Quick note about Google Maps
Published: Mon, 03/31/08
I'm sending a plain text message instead of the fancy newsletter
this time just for a quick note about some new video tutorials I
just made.
Jim and Odie and I are currently traveling from our winter spot of
Casa Grande, Arizona to our home-base in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
where we will spend April and May.
I've been keeping my own custom map of this journey. You can see it
by visiting our Blog at:
www.geeksontour.blogspot.com
You'll see a very small map in the upper right corner. Click on
the link to 'View Larger Map.'
