not falling down

Postnerd.

Seriously, why hasn’t anybody put a scrollball on top of a mouse yet? They’ve had tiny trackballs on keyboards for decades, so it can’t be technically challenging, and we all know tiltwheels are nonoptimal–tilting is inferior to scrolling because it’s a fixed rate of movement (unless maybe there are analog tilters), and what’s more you can’t tilt and scroll simultaneously.

Further Keyhole obsession: I’ve finally proved to my satisfaction that New Circle Road in Lexington is not a circle, but a teardrop-shaped gob of snot headed southeast to Richmond.

For the record, I am SO WATCHING YOU.

Update 1040 hrs: I just spent like half a damn hour playing with this thing, flying all over Louisville and trying to figure out what looks like what from the air. I never properly understood how huge the (now-closed) Showcase Cinema parking lot was. Is. Also, if you get driving directions and superimpose them on the satellite images instead of the map? Things don’t quite line up, so to get anywhere it is apparently necessary to tear up a lot of lawns and drive directly down the median of the highway.
