A bug in Google Earth


If you've been reading my blog, you're probably well aware that I'm a big fan of Google Earth...but even Google Earth has bugs sometimes. Like this one!

Apparently there is NOT a 50-yard long killer insect devouring the forests and fields of Germany, but rather some adventurous insect managed to crawl its way onto the glass plate used in the scanning process. Somebody at Google Earth has gone so far as to actually identify the bug...it's a thrips, very small bug at about 1mm long. Not a lot of people would have known that :-)

My friend and executive coach, Vicky Trabosh, has done a ton of work in support of humanitarian causes in Africa--particularly in Rwanda through the organization Itafari. On Sunday Sept. 10th, Vicky was the emcee for a benefit called Portland Voices for Darfur.

Dance Lessons in the Cook Islands


My friend (and trusty customer service guru here at TheBigDay) Linda recently returned from the Cook Islands with her husband Karl. Apparently it was an educational trip for Karl, as evidenced by this video :-)
