Can you send me your pictures??

 		I really don't feel like going through all 50,000 posts on this... but I just came up with something that I haven't seen yet (sorry if it's trout)... but has anyone tried to find the Mean, Median, Average of both long/lat yet and see where those plot out?

 		Trout

Yeah, it's decided that it's the middle of nowhere, also known as Kansas. Try looking a couple pages back for the exact coords.

 		Better spreadsheet
For those of us who think the locations are important: a new spreadsheet, with address, city, state, and county sorted into separate columns.

Has anyone taken all 220 coordinates and radiated them out from the Queen's apparent home base in SF? I am truly poking around to see if this has been done, but I am not finding it.

Or perhaps from San Antonio, Texas? It depends on how you like your suspension of disbelief: It's never been clear to me if we're supposed to believe that the digital entities are residing in a computer that belongs to Dana or Margaret in San Francisco, or instead on the server where ilovebees.com appears to be served from in Texas.

One pleasing thing about supposing they are in Texas is the central location, and the near lack of coordinates in Texas (except the one in El Paso). If we believe these coordinates map the planned spread of the AI, then it should spread from where it is located, so from Texas on out, and thus the lack of points there.

 		That makes a lot of sense... The distances from San Francisco (ILB) to the coords can be found in this excel spreadsheet. The maker of this spreadsheet used a java program to fire out the coords to the site listed on Dana's blog. He can surely modify it a bit to branch out from Texas instead. Does anyone have the exact coords of the ILB server ?

Probably just Rackspace's central office, but here's the [url=http://mappoint.msn.com/(40np53aadhgrugvzdgqsr3n4)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=29.42861%2c-98.49287&A=7.16667&P=|29.42861%2c-98.49287|1|112+E+Pecan+St%2c+San+Antonio%2c+TX+78205|L1|]coordinates[/url] anyway:

29.42861N, 98.49287W

Heh. Well, mine could be wrong. They're from www.geocode.com though, from the 'Tele Atlas Map' database..

And 2 minutes isn't that slow Smile

Crying or Very sad I'd prefer not to- my 56k modem screams in pain whenever I look at it funny, let alone try to upload images. But, trust me, it's hash.

 		Trout me if needs be... but has anyone thought to compile up what states don't have the GPS coordinates and use that information for anything like anagrams?

Well, there are 31 or 32 states used in total (depending on how you count DC). I was hoping that each state might correspond to a letter, but that's too many states. I hadn't thought of using the UNused states. What order would we put them in?

Perhaps distance from the infected server? Just really a guess.

 		I posted this in the a different thread, but thoght I should post it here also:

I created a script that used the Distance Calc linked to from Dana's blog, and created a list of all of the distances between paired points, here it is:
