Google Maps has images of post-Katrina New Orleans. I hear the MSN Virtual Earth team is working on something similar too.

Speaking of New Orleans, several people have taken me to task for calling New Orleans mayor a hero. They point out that he's done other things that have not served his city well (read my comments for some examples).

They are right. This was a case where my emotions are speaking and I didn't do my homework. That interview got to me, it seemed to me to be where a politician went beyond. That interview HAS helped focus attention on the problems now underhand, which is why I called him out.

But it is probably inappropriate to call him a hero before I had all the facts.

This is a non-tech example of how I can't FUD you all here. You have more information, more knowledge, than I do. Than I possibly can have.

And, if I'm listening to you (I try) then I'll self correct my beliefs.

Thank you for doing that. It makes me a better and more informed human.

Really, I just wanted to thank everyone who is working this weekend to help out in a case of dire need. You're all heroes in my book.
