I found Willy!

He's standing outside of West Jr. High School in Lawrence, Kansas!
I asked him if he might wave...

Where's Willy?

OK, let's get serious here. This kid with the backpack can be viewed on Google Maps Street Mode. He exists somewhere in cypberspace, somewhere in the world. I'm going to call him "Willy". To win the contest you have to either display a picture of him from a larger perspective and/or tell me a little more - in detail - about the environment in which he dwells. After about a week if there is no identification, I will give a few more details.

Waldo's Been Found

Thanks to Paul revealing his trick for capturing photos, I can now reveal the whereabouts of The Yankee Stadium Waldo.


A little past third base there is a Geico sign. Follow the "G" up about 22 rows.

(Her name is Michelle. She lives in Georgia and was visiting her brother Bill in New York who has seasons tickets. Michelle is a teacher, her brother is a dental technician.)

Waldo's in a wierd place

Notice the girl in the yellow shirt to the right of "Waldo". Her left hand is holding the railing. Well it appears that the railing is broken close to her hand. Even stranger, her right arm is growing out of her hip. And then notice a few rows above the girl in yellow, there's a lady with a black Yankees T-shirt on. She only has half a head! And below her. . .there's a guy with a blue T-shirt who has absolutely no head at all. All very strange.

Where's Waldo?

Fantastic web site, Dan! The Zoomable Yankee Stadium is amazing. One can actually zoom up on individuals in the stadium - and recognize them!

In Dan's latest challenge, Katie took care of the large catsup bottle pretty handily. Here's the new challenge - a little more difficult. Find this woman I've circled at Yankee Stadium. Her shirt was the closest I could come to a Waldo shirt.

Good luck!

A Cyberspace Experiment

Sometimes I just wander about the internet to see what I see for the fun of it. I especially like Google Earth. And Paul recently introduced me to street view of the major cities. It's amazing what you can find and how many tools there are for finding things. I was thinking it could be fun to use the entire earth via the internet to play a sort of "Where's Waldo". So. . .here's the challenge. Can you find this catsup bottle and tell us anything about it? (I used photoshop to delete some of the pertinent information on this photo.) You are invited to introduce your own challenge to this game.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Paul is always good about pointing out interesting sites. I'm watching the all star game and thought I'd make a link to an interesting panoramic zoomable picture of Yankee Stadium.

José's first birthday

OK, finally some pictures of José!

We had our first birthday party for José on July 4th! Thanks to everyone who showed up and for all the gifts! He really made a haul!

Gwyn: José and his parents want to thank you for helping him unwrap his gifts!














We carried all the gifts up to the house and of course the first thing he went for was the Tupperware! But then later, he did play with his new toys!

More pictures coming soon!
