The thrill is gone

… or is it?
Always seems like our industry goes in dry spells of NBT (next big thing) or something with just a general wow factor about it.
I haven’t really seen anything recently that tickled my fancy. That all changed this morning and my wife and little girl were packing up and about to head to Ocean City, MD. I figured I would hit maps.google.com because we were going there but was also going to take a detour to see some relatives. Normally that means I have to map two routes. One from my house to theirs, and then one from theirs to the beach. Not anymore. I mapped the route to the beach and then something possessed me to hover over the route as if I was going to drag it around to create a detour. It did!
Now that is something completely wow to me, seeing that recalculate like it did on the fly and then update the directions in the left nav.
Oh, and the beach is great, since I knew you all were really wondering. Blogging this from the balcony of the Lankford hotel right on the boardwalk.
