"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Virtual Seattle

While browsing through the latest posts on Seattlest, a great new Seattle blog, I came across a post about VRSeattle a site that contains lots and lots (1200+) of Quicktime VR images of the Seattle area. The images give you a 360 degree view of places around Seattle and allow you to pan around, zoom in and out, etc. Here are a few quick favorites I found while looking through the site:

UW Campus - The UW campus has got to be one of the prettiest in the nation.

The Kingdome - Before it was knocked down and replaced by Seahawks Stadium.

Seahawk Stadium - Ever wonder what it's like to stand on an NFL field?

Dick's Drive-In - Seattle's favorite burger joint. This place is only a few blocks away from my house. You may also recognize it from Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Posse on Broadway" which contained the line "Dick's is the place where the crew hang out--the SWASS like to play, and the rich flaunt clout".

Lake Bill - A man-made lake on the Microsoft campus named after the company's fearless leader.

Mt. St. Helen's - In addition to Seattle pics, the site also contains other images from around Washington state including these images from Mt. St. Helen's (from before it's recent flare ups).
