The personal thoughts, opinions and typos of Ron Shank
Here’s a good thing to do. Go to this site and enter your address and then find your child’s school and click on that. You get a list of all sex offenders and how far they are from your school.
The site doesn’t work as well as it should in Firefox, but it’s pretty new and they appear to be off to a good start.
Speaking of sex offenders – Did anyone catch Dateline NBC last Friday? I missed it, but saw some of the highlights on MSNBC. I’ll blog more on that later.
The Yahoo Map Beta takes many of the things I like and adds the thing someone should have thought of years ago: mapping to various points. For example, I know the best route from here to St. Louis. But Google thought it new better than me, while now I can add points and get a more accurate map… and I really like mini map thing in the upper right. Looks like they took that from the google earth program. Which is really cool too if your pc will run it.
Not that you asked, Camp:
It’s great to see comments back your site, but I personally think it would make more sense to put the comments and trackbacks under or next to your “posted by” section.
