\nOK, the new multi-destination directions at Google maps inspired me to create a new meme. If this ripples through the Blogosphere, you heard it here first. (Like no one else will think of this.)
\nI went to Google Maps<\/a> and entered in every place I’ve lived. I’ve lived in 17 locations in 3 states and 5 metro areas. This map is the result. You can see it on Google here<\/a>.
\nThat’s every address I’ve lived in since I was a few months old. I don’t know the address of that first apartment, besides it was pretty close to the Watson Ave home I lived in for my first 8 1\/2 years. Most are approximations because I couldn’t remember the exact address and a couple are deliberately vague as folks I love still live there.
\nAccording to Google, the journey that took me 39 years is 2,394 mi and can be traversed in about 1 day and 16 hours. I guess I’m just slow.
\nWhat’s your Life Map look like? Go to Google Maps<\/a> and create yours. Post a link in the comments or put it up on your own blog if you’ve got one. Leave us a comment here (or a trackback) though so we can go see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
