A few weeks ago Brad posted the above link about a very cool montage that 
NASA had posted. One of the folks on the video editing list that I also 
hang out on took the picture and started placing the names of people from 
that list on to the image with as much geographic accuracy as possible. 
The link below will take you to it. If you look a bit north and west of 
the Gulf of Mexico you'll find my name, along with a bunch of others.

Looking at the original picture can be fun too. Notice the string of 
light across eastern Russia? They make the path of the Siberian Railroad. 
It also shows just how isolated the Hawaiian Islands really are. It may 
take some time to load so be patient. The image is 2000 by 1200 pixels, 
but the detail is great.

Enjoy, Ron
