Nothing better to do than reading this?
Lie outside on every cloudless day on a brightly coloured
sheet for about six hours, staring straight up into the sky and
smile to the world that will eventually view you when the
satellites that Google Earth uses, get round to taking an
updated fresh
shot of your locale.

adverlab: Rooftop Ads Are Real Business

I'm not sure they are, actually; the operators that the article points to seem little more than inflatabizes. [jutta, May 01 2006]

Soon in stores: 12'x6' fresnel lens canopies. |
|
| |
Ouch if it's a sunny day [j]. Cue lots of ants pointing and pissing themselves laughing. |
|
| |
As performance art, I'm sure that's already been done. However, cool way to get yourself on Google. Except the resolution isn't that good. |
|
| |
don't forget the sun slap. gawd, this is sad. |
|
| |
You may want to wait until the satellites they use get higher resolution. The smallest object I can see is a blurry picture of my car. |
|
| |
Then someone posts on low-res: "Hey, you missed a spot!" |
|
| |
If you lay down on your front, then Google Earthers would have the unusual chance to look down from the heavens and say "I can see Uranus from here!" |
|
| |
I'm in my newly built house 3 plus years, all I see on Google is open fields. |
|
| |
theircompetitor - that's three years of lying in the sun
waiting, checking, waiting, checking, waiting, checking,
waiting, checking.... you just saved yourself- but I
wouldn't push your luck - get out there today and start
gazing up. |
|
| |
I think you would have to lie there for at least four years. |
|
| |
The sat data is -years- old. Its no where near hourly updated. |
|

The photo's for Houston are at least 4 years old, possibly 5. The football stadium is under construction in the photo & they've played 4 seasons there already & I don't see my car in the parking lot where I started working in 2001 (maybe it was taken during lunch, though). You'd have to live in a large city for this to even be close to possible, I think. My small home town has almost no recognizable detail. That' a cool site. (I looked for a while for border crossers around Tiajuana, but couldn't find any.)
+ I did see people, cattle, & even the shadow of an elephant in some photos though. |

| |
Maybe they should notify us when the next satelite is going to go past. + |

Did you know there's a flying car on Google Earth? Go to 32º 00' 42.9" S 115º 47' 10.93" E to see it. |
|
| |
I bet [Detly] would know about that. |
|
| |
Buy a mannequin, paint/dress it to look like you and display it
outside instead. If you change its posture/attire monthly,
when it shows up on GE you'll know the approximate date of
the flyover. |
|
| |
Isn't it possible to get the schedule of satellite
fly-overs from somewhere? Most (non-military)
satellites are well-documented and seem to be on apps
like 'Star Walk'. |

Baked - Cerne-Abbas Giant. So big, even the glans is
visible from space. |
|
| |
- hole in the roof, photo cut out in the outline of a person
- roc's nest, with roclings staring at the satellite, mouths open
- flying saucer
- missile silo |
