It's a nice little interface that allows you to calculate how far you've walked. It's built on top of maps.google.com. Basically, just clicking "Start Recording" and then double-click way-points and it'll mark them. Also, if you don't live in Hoboken, you'll need to click the link on the left side of the page to zoom the map out.
According to this, I walk about 2.25 miles round-trip to work. I also walk the four flights of stairs rather than take the elevator.

Those of you who haven't should really look at this. It's not as complicated as it looks at first glance, and it's amazingly cool. People used who used to plan their walks/jogs/bikerides around limited paths with known distances can now choose paths solely on the basis of pleasure, beauty and convenience: google knows all distances.

I like it because, unlike those mapping thingies designed for driving, this one is "as the crow flies," which is helpful for me in DC, because sometimes I cut across stuff that doesn't have a road (like around the tidal basin and various stuff around the Mall and Capitol).

Everyday life is the story of everyone in which everybody faces different difficulties in his or her daily routine life. For the students of australian assignment writers there is a forum to discuss about everyday system problems and their solution by people.
