To the collection of origin myths of Google Earth (notably, Mark Aubin’s mention of Power’s of Ten, John Hanke’s mention of Snow Crash, Michael Jones’s mention of the Star Trek ricorder) you can now add Keyhole cofounder Avi Bar-Ze’ev’s version of events. Namely, we have Google Earth thanks to Al Gore. Sort of.

Interesting post title. What’s your interpretation of that song?
Leonard would never deign to explain his cryptic lyrics, but I’m not him so: I see the song as being a lament by someone whose insights are not shared by society at large, and hence he is doomed to travel at the margins of society. Still, he is making plans for a triumphant re-entry… NYC being a good place to start for a democrat:-)
