U.S. Presidential History Mashup - Web 2.0 guru Virender Ajmani is at it again! This time he has added this mashup intended for school kids to know facts about US Presidents and First Ladies like where they were born. Virender has been busy using various APIs (eBay, Yahoo! Google) to create mashups for the Indian community as well as other mashups related to eBay Motors, Flight Searching and Real Estate. Take a look at them, they are all found from this above link.
Oregon and Washington Brew Map - This map displays Brewpubs, Microbreweries and Regional Breweries in the states of Oregon and Washington. Info balloons feature contact information, website links and even a directions tab. If you do take part in a brewery tour of these places, take it easy on the free samples and give these directions to a taxi driver!
Peakbagging Maps for major U.S. mountains - Scott Kendall has put together this impressive Google Map mashup of data for well known U.S. (and international) mountains.

You, and "google" so far miss the incrediable possibilities/opportunities of making maps/geo tech much more useful/interoperable/intergrated in the future, especially when combined with GPS and getting things done most effectively when out and about working or casual use, even disaster use... using geoaddressing. Universal map reference system MGRS-WGS84 worldwide, already the adopted grid in Europe and USA...) that is easy to use and the same one used by businesses, gov, public... hmmm. Look around a bit on the web for US National Grid info as a start. The work ineviatable should come to mind. I'll bet a thousand bucks that Yahoo will get there first.

To be persnickety: the Northeast 111 is 115 peaks above 4000'...the list is occasionally modified based on new maps, but the name remains the same.
