I've been playing around with the High-Yield Detonation Simulator featured today on bOINGbOING. I decided to map a nuclear blast at the UT tower, and found this page that lists the GPS coordinates for many UT landmarks. I'm not sure what the point of this page is. At first thought it might be for GPS users, but, if you're wandering around campus and you can't find the tower, I don't think a GPS unit will do you much good.

These Google Maps hacks have been around for a few months, and, in blog time that's like forever, but I do appreciate many of the applications people have developed. The High-Yield Detonation Simulator is much nicer (although more difficult to use) than Map-A-Blast. I'm going to New York in a few weeks, so I poked around for subway maps integrated with Google Maps. This is the best one I've found yet, although it doesn't seem to play nice with Safari and doesn't allowing panning around with the keyboard. I looked around for a hack that maps cool coffeeshops in Dallas, but either there aren't any cool coffeeshops in Dallas or no one has gotten around to making one yet.
