accident-sketch

This week’s site is fun to play around with — but it’s also useful. It allows you to develop very nice looking sketches of accident scenes simp;y by dragging and dropping and positioning roads, intersections, cars, etc. Let’s hope you don’t have a fender bender, but if you do, this might come in handy.

The mullet should be a dead giveaway as to the identity of this week’s Invisible Movie. It’s a 2001 comedy that starred a SNL alumni. It was generally panned by the critics. Ebert and Roeper both gave the film a thumbs down. Richard Roeper said it was predictable and strained, and said that the radio station storyline was absurd. Despite the poor reviews, the film did earn $27 million in the US, surpassing its $16 million budget.

Simply identify the movie and turn it in with your first answer at Trivia for five bonus points.

I’m a sucker for maps of all kinds, so was excited when I stumbled across this one on the web. It’s called Earth Album Alpha and it’s described by it’s creators as a “simpler, slicker Flickr mash-up that allows you to explore some of the most stunning photos in the world courtesy of Google maps and Flickr.
If you like exploring our world, give this one a spin.
