TERRASERVER/GLOBE EXPLORER

I've been aware of Terraserver for some time, but Globe Explorer is new to me. It's a little more confusing than Terraserver, but maybe that's because I didn't spend a lot of time on the site. With either you can get aerial views of almost anywhere, down to street level. It's interesting to see your neighborhood and house from space!

ANTI-PHIISHING WORKING GROUP

This is a site that will warn you of phishing activities. Phishing is the sending of e-mails intended to look like they come from a source important to you, but the intent is to get your bank account number, Social Security number, etc. This sort of activity seems to be increasing daily , so it's a good idea to be aware but not panic.

SPACE TRIP

Take a trip through space at SpaceWander. This is a wonderful place! You take off in a space ship and go first to Mars then WAY out into space! I wish the pictures were larger, but they are interesting.
