- "Six Authors. Six Stories. Six Weeks...with Google Maps"
Short stories to be read with the aid of Google Maps.
For the first short story, "21 Steps" by Charles Cumming, read the chapters and follow the storyline as the map moves you through London.
From the site:
"I was the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"One minute, Rick Blackwell is sightseeing at St. Pancras in London; the next, he's caught up in a conspiracy that takes him far away from home. Rick needs to use all his skills to find out why a dying stranger seemed to know his name - and to stay alive. In this homage to The 39 Steps, Charles Cumming takes us on an adrenaline-fuelled adventure written and designed for Google Maps."
Watch for a new story to be revealed each week, between now and April 22.

- A Dozen More Turns by SFAA -- Revver Online Video Sharing Network
- Jan 12, 2008 7:20pm (3 reviews) outdoors http://revver.com/video/310519/a-dozen-m...
- With the avalanche concerns this season, this is a good film to watch to remind oneself that accidents can happen regardless of how experienced or prepared you are.
"A Dozen More Turns, a film by Amber Seyler, is a documentary about backcountry skiing, avalanches and how the "human factor" - non-scientific, emotionally-spurred miscalculations - can have dire consequences. Based on a true story about five friends, experienced outdoorsmen who collectively possessed significant avalanche training & expertise, who venture off on a multi-day hut trip in southwestern Montana. The film powerfully depicts how their pursuit of powder and desire to eek out a few extra turns ends up costing one man his life, while his best friend loses a leg in the accident."

(or at least it is pretty darn close)
They were saying this was going to happen,
but it was kind of hard to believe it would considering
the C$ was worth about 40 cents less than the US$
not so long ago.
