Normally, I hate GPS, RFID, and anything else that can be used to track people.  However, I couldn’t help but become giddy from this ingenious use of GPS.

A deer named Thor had been roaming through his life, unaware that Google Earth was tracking him.

Someone named ‘Siberian’ at the Google Earth Community posted how he managed to make this happen. Turns out he had collared a deer they named “Thor” with a GPS and cellphone with SMS capability. They are studying deers living in suburban areas in Pennsylvania. Siberian then hacked up a way to use the resulting E-mail to create a spreadsheet which is then converted into a file you can use to track the deer in Google Earth.
