What's the News? - Episode 4

It's "Tax Day"...so make sure your taxes are postmarked and sent in before the post offices close! It's also Tuesday...meaning it's time for a new episode of "What's the News?"

Thanks!

Where's Waldo?

I might be a little behind on the trend, but there have been some very interesting things done to surprise users of Google Earth. Call them "Easter Eggs", "Trinkets", or whatever...they're fun little surprises that either we create, or nature does, that make using Google Earth a little more fun.

Well, today I ran across this website: "Where on Earth is Waldo?"

This site informed me that there is a lady in Vancouver, BC, Canada that has re-imagined the childhood book series on a much larger scale. She's created a large Waldo sized painting that she has put on the roof of her building, large enough to be seen using Google Earth.

So...I downloaded Google Earth and went a searching. The only evidence I had was this picture that was taken by a helicopter in Vancouver.
After about oh...15 minutes or so...don't tell me boss...I think I found him...well sort of. I have seemed to match the building...but there's no Waldo to be found. See...
Now this could be because 1 of 2 reasons...one...the building set up I found is remarkably similar but not exact to the helicopter picture, OR...the Google Earth image of the area I found is too old and doesn't show the most recent image.

You be the judge...what do you think...did I find the right area?
