Ten Weeks, Give or Take

And that's the answer to that question. Not bad, actually.

Back in April I was photographed by the Googlemobile on my way to the library. I have to confess, after the first few weeks I stopped checking every day and lately have been looking only once or twice a week so I don't know exactly when it went up, but the new street view is there now and there I am making my turn.

Can't tell that it's me, but it is.

They didn't blur me out or anything, the shot is just too far away and fuzzy. My brother could tell. No one else ever will.

Questions On Being Street Viewed

On my way to the library yesterday, I turned right in front of the Googlemobile waiting at the intersection. Boom! There they were, just past the police radar trap. Since that was the street I was turning onto, I looked them straight in the camera lens. It was a beautiful, warm day and I had my windows down and everything.

The current Street View for that intersection is four years old. I will now check that spot on Google Maps every day for the answers to two questions. How long does it take Google to put up new views once the pictures have been taken? Assuming the camera is running constantly and their car was stopped for a minute or two due to cross traffic, will they select me (and others) out of the scene in favor of shots without traffic if possible? And, if they do use a shot with me in it, how will I look making my turn all pixelated?

O.K. Three. Three questions.

And did they catch the radar trap on camera?

Four.
