happy birthday, APRS Internet System

Steve Dimse, K4HG, posted this on APRSSIG today:

Ten years ago today I registered aprs.net. For a week or two before that I had been testing APRServe, with consolidated data from San Francisco, Atlanta, and Miami, but the switch over to aprs.net marks the official birthday of the APRS Internet System. What a decade it has been! Thanks to all the (far to many to name) hams whose contributions have grown the system to what it is today.

new cool map tool

Google My Maps is a new map tool that allows you to personalize Google Maps and share them with other Internet users

My Maps went live a few days ago and being a map guy from way back, I immediately started playing with the tool and in a short time created a map for the local historical society, which I webmaster for. The map is a work in progress, but if you peruse what I have done so far, you will get the idea.
