And here is ACS - although we have the new building next too us now, so I'm sure it'd look a little more impressive than it does here - these pics are from 1994...

Search on any City name - you have to know the layout of your town pretty well to find anything though...

COOL! My house is the next to last one on the street, not the case anymore. There's a whole 'nother subdivision back there now.

M@lachi's house doesn't exist! Nothing but trees! :D

weeee my house! You can't really see it because of the freakin' huge oak trees on my street. Oh yeah, if you click on "advanced search" on the right on that page you can search for your address. That's how I got the thumbtack on the picture.

here's a shot of my office. from the looks of it this picture was taken before we added on, I think this building may even still be a restaruant at this point in time.

Here's a zoomed out shot to show you how tightly packed New Orleans is. Gets that way when you are surrounded by River, Lake, and swamp.

On the right hand side, you can see downtown and the Superdome! w00t

Speaking of Sq Ft - there was a lady down from Clinton NJ training us on administering our new phone system, and she asked me how much trouble it would be to install a wireless network in her house - so I was like how big is your house, and she was like, oh, right at 5000 sq ft, plus a 1800 sq ft basement...i fainted :D

I'm at 1600sq foot with an attached 2-car garage and about a 200sq foot workshed in the back. Been there 3 months and haven't even looked in the workshed yet.. Now to convert the garage into an office (600+ sq foot)...
