I just ran across this, which is semi-related to the above and mighty cool. (Albeit in a slightly civilization-is-dead kind of way, in that the guy in charge of this amazing project is quoted in a mainstream news article - one which also contains the adjective "ballsy" - as having said "a quarter of a fucking million miles" at one point; I mean, whatever happened to fucking discourse? :)
