A clever Albotian who identified himself as “random torontonian” in the comments actually found yesterday’s Sonic & Robotnik Daily Graffiti via Google Maps.
Here’s the link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=toronto,+ON,+dundas+and+young&sll=50.079148,-122.952375&sspn=0.013715,0.038581&ie=UTF8&hq=dundas+and+young&hnear=Toronto,+ON,+Canada&ll=43.652806,-79.375588&spn=0,359.990355&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=43.652911,-79.375639&panoid=oa2F1rI9oVZUwTU6rttJzg&cbp=12,102.31,,0,10.3
Makes me wonder how many other Daily Graffiti pieces are visible on Google Maps…
The first person who spots any Daily Graffiti pieces in their area gets something awesome if you take a picture of yourself standing in front of it with an Albotas.com sign. I have an office full of free stuff to give away.

Binary Space Games have done humankind and your boredom a HUGE service by creating what can only be described as the single most important piece of technology in the existence of the universe: The Zombie Outbreak Simulator.
Zombie Outbreak Sim is a sandbox game where you can witness 100’s and 1000’s of zombies sweeping across Washington DC on Google Maps. This particular map is close to the Catholic University of America, north of the Pentagon. Players can modify various settings such as zombie numbers, speed, infection times and so on, and then watch the results unfold.
The Zombie Outbreak Simulator lets you set specific variables like how many people populate the given area, how many of them have guns, how accurate they are, how fast the zombies are, and how fast the outbreak spreads.
The only problem with this is you can’t type in your own address and watch the living dead wreak utter havoc on your neighborhood. If Binary Space can fix that small setback, the Zombie Outbreak Simulator could prepare us and maybe even save us from the inevitable undead uprising.

If you’ve read The Walking Dead, you might enjoy following the events from the story on Google Maps. You can even see the actual locations where characters had sex! Thank you, fan with too much time on his hands. Thank you very much.
