I’m now one of Google’s Favorite Places.  I’m honored!

Well really,  my house is honored as I’m not the Google favorite place, my house / home office  is.  The information that came with the sticker said that “Delusional Designs” had been looked up 1000+ times on Google Local Listings and 78 people have gotten driving directions to it.  Does it count friends that have previously looked up my address to find where I live and how to get over to my place?

Too bad the map on the sticker doesn’t have the real map on it.  It’s a map of San Fransisco.  Weak!

The sticker is a good idea.  It’s double sided with both sides having the weird bar code area.  It’s not really bars but it a little symbol that they are going to use in the future for identification of locations.  You take a picture of the “bar code” and it checks Google for the business listing.   Interesting idea.  I would take it that they are trying to match and outdo the “People love us on Yelp” stickers I see everywhere around town.  I did hear that Google might buy Yelp!

A panorama from Angels Rest in the Columbia Gorge. I took it with my iphone but make sure to enlarge it as it’s quite big (9000px!). Only one tear in the panorama. Not bad for an almost 360 degree shot taken from a camera phone.

A great trip to the many falls surrounding the ever so popular and tourist trap of Mutlnomah Falls. We love visiting and never have a bad time. What’s not to like? A winding road through the forest that leads to many trail heads, beside and along the road water falls, and a peaceful time all out in nature seeing some of the wondrous things it has to offer. <- That kinda sounds cheesy but it's true. It's so nice to have and be able to visit at anytime!

This tiny little link will lead you to the pictures and my picture section that is currently “plugged into” flickr. Enjoy! I know I did!
