I haven't been swimming in far too long. I know some of you like swimming. I've been looking into Vancouver pools and came across an old chestnut that I used to go to as a kid, and to which it is high time I return: Kits pool. It's outdoors, right on the waterfront, it's one of North America's only salt water pools, and it's freakin' 137 metres long (compare to the Aquatic Centre, which I think is Vancouver's next longest pool, at 50m). It also has three little slides (just the little free-standing ones, not big waterslides) and a waterpark (which, if memory serves, is frigid), and grassy space for activities such as picnicking. It's open from 10am to 8:45pm on the weekends, and I intend to go this weekend, even if it's by myself to ask the pool for a challenge!! (i.e. attempt to swim those gargantuan laps.) Hopefully it won't be too overrun with the miniature humans (we could go later on in the day to avoid this, perhaps).
Anyone else wanna come?
Edit: Surely you've all experienced the hours of mindless/curious fun (and utter triumph of user interface design, as with everything Google does) of Google maps/satellite photos. Well, check this out. Google wins again.

4. Is Google Moon a result of your Copernicus initiative?
Glad you asked, and yes, the development of our lunar hosting and research center continues apace. We usually don't announce future products in advance, but in this case, yes, we can confirm that on July 20th, 2069, in honor of the 100th anniversary of mankind's first manned lunar landing, Google will fully integrate Google Local search capabilities into Google Moon, which will allow our users to quickly find lunar business addresses, numbers and hours of operation, among other valuable forms of Moon-oriented local information.

Anyway, excellent, I thought you'd go for this.
