Get Walking

Okay, technically, maybe this post doesn't belong in the "Search Engine Optimization" category, but you'll soon see it does have to do with a search engine and a form of optimization...

I just tried out Google's GMaps Pedometer. It's kind of fun. Next time you go for a walk (which, of course, is one of the most environmentally friendly methods of transportation!), you might be curious to know how far you walked. This tool allows you to plot the route you took to see its distance and even — if you care — the number of calories you burned.

Turns out one of my quick post-work walking routes is about 1.5 miles. Interesting...
