From the New York Post:

January 1, 2005 — PHUKET, Thailand – Quick-thinking 10-year-old Tilly Smith is being hailed as a hero after saving her parents and dozens of fellow vacationers from the deadly tsunami – thanks to a school geography lesson.

There is a reason why my job is to advance geographic thought :-)

Last night at my friend’s New Year’s Party I was supplied with this geographic tool to find the EXACT locations of the IP’s I’ve been harvesting. I think it takes WHOIS to a whole new level, a spatial one.

Anyways, this is the warmest New Years of my life. My meme of 2005 is to advance the notion that you are actually feeling climate change.
