jackofallgeeksThis is kind of cool. A while back, there was a rumor going around that
Target and others were trying to take advantage of Google Maps/Earth by
putting ads on their roofs. In truth thought it turned out that the
buildings in question were near and airport and were advertising to landing
airline passengers, not web geeks. Apparently, though, this got some guy
thinking and he's
hidden an image of Waldo from "Where's Waldo" on some unidentified
building in Vancouver.
Unfortunately (as evident by the fact that my parents' house still isn't on
Google Maps after almost 5 years), there's no telling when Waldo will
show up, nevermind trying to find where. It's really a cool idea,
though, and if anyone else wanted to put Waldo in other cities I'd be
greatly amused.
