Smile, you're on camera

Living in a veeery secluded place in a veeery small town in a veeery well-populated land of a coupla million streets, when the Google Streetview camera car scare went around last year I thought "Hah, they'll never come down my street anyway."

Well, good thing I didn't put any money on that, because what drove past our house just when I was getting ready to drive to work?

Yup. The Google Streetview camera car. Black Opel Zafira w/ French license plate, with MASSIVE camera buildup on roof.

In my secluded street.

Bzuh!

In other news, it's a really bad idea to watch PotC: At World's End while in Akallabêth-in-August writing mode. Oh, the crack bunnies! >_>

My brain as a whole has been eaten by plot bunnies, and then that. I CANNOT WORK LIKE THIS. And I must. *headwalls*

Als erstes Mal, schickes neues Layout! :D Gefällt mir!

Das mit der Kamera ist aber echt seltsam, hätte ich an deiner Stelle auch so nicht erwartet.

Ich finde die Satellitenfunktion ja schon so toll, habe da schon die Häuser meiner Eltern rausgesucht etc. XD

Oh, wow. I love the streetview thing so when I go to someplace new, I know exactly what to look for. But neighborhoods are a little far… I mean, technically in the US, if you can photograph pretty much anything if you're on public property (meaning the street), including houses, etc. But it's the way Google goes about it systematically that's a little creepy.

*laughs* I'd love to see the crackfic that came out of that. But good luck with your Akallabêth writing!
