I Went on a Wizard Quest. A few months ago, I had the most fun I have ever had in my entire life at a place called Wizard Quest in Wisconsin.

Transparency is crucial to Google's success. I think that's about it for now, believe me when I say that I'm not happy with the execution of this AT ALL. Google Maps Mania.
