Filthy Swines!

Although we try desperately to stay away from actual, relevant news here at ES, there’s no doubting that our general love of pork, death and google apps makes the looming swine flu pandemic completely irresistable, and this latest development absolutely perfect – that’s right, you can now track those poor dying Mexicans in real time, courtesy of the ever-lovin Google Maps.

This latest mashup comes from the misery-guts over at lifehacker, And while the we are generally a portal of doom, ES is taking the view that “Hey-if everyone is dead, we can  finally move into the Tower of London!”

Worry yourself stupid here.

Scorched Earth Topography

Continuing our tradition of reporting on google map addons, here’s a nicely complimentary feature for the Disaster Mapper- Ground Zero. Basically pick your weapon- I am going with ‘Planet Cracker’, because screw you planet Earth- and GZ will generate you a nice little iconised map showing the effects of destruction and radiation poisoning. This obviously won’t work after an EMP hits you, but it is perfect for planning that tactical strike on Milton Keynes, or just knowing which way to run when the oil starts running out next year.
