Well, I guess gravity has nothing to do with it. But finding your geographic center is pretty cool and fun to do (linked fixed, sorry!). Turns out the midpoint of everywhere I lived is tiny Saratoga, Wyoming. Population 1,690 proud souls and home of the annual Steinly Cup microbrew competition. Gonna have to pay those punny folks a visit one of these days I suppose.
Westminster, CA (23 years), Prescott, AZ (5 years), Fort Smith, AR (3 years), Columbia, SC (12 years and counting), Stafford, VA (8 years) and Seoul, ROK (6 years) winds up looking like this.
And where pray tell is your center?
UPDATE: I changed the headline for this post after a commenter graciously pointed out that I had invented a new word for stupid…
Did you invent a new word in your blog post’s title?
Why yes, yes I did! It means the same thing as stupid, only with more letters.
Ah, no spell check feature for the headlines has exposed me to ridicule! Corrected now. I think.
Your very first link doesn’t seem to be working, alas. It redirects me to your blog—to a “This is embarrassing” screen that’s the equivalent of “404 File Not Found.” I saw the proper URL to go to, though, so I’ll be trying this nifty app out shortly. Thanks.
Just tried to find my geographic omphalos. I ended up somewhere in the water, in the middle of the Hudson Bay, Canada. Heh.
Link is fixed now, sorry about that! Several folks on FB have also found themselves treading water it seems. Guess that’s what happens when you’ve been off continent a significant amount of time…
Inuvik Region, NT, Canada
Cold up there, Duke!
