A First - The 44th United States President's Birth Place not in lower 48 states

For the 1st Time in United States History a United States President's Birth place would not be in lower 48 states. Take a look at this Google Maps Mashup I had put together a while ago which shows birthplaces of United States President. All the markers are in lower 48 states. This will change on January 20th, 2009, with the 44th President being either born in Honolulu, Hawaii (Senator Barack Obama) or Coco Solo Naval Air Station, Panama Canal Zone (Senator John McCain)

Happy Presidents Day

Today February 18th is the Presidents Day here in United States. For those who do not know who was our 1st President or who our current President is, here's some help, a Google Maps Mashup showing the birth places of all the United States Presidents (including their spouses) and some other interesting information.

I had created this mashup almost 2 years back. The idea for this mashup had originated at a Border's Book Store in Detroit, MI. I bumped into a book at a clearance section titled something like "United States Presidents". It was priced at around $6.00. I purchased it and after that it took me couple of days to key in the data into a mysql database and then the mashup was ready in couple of hours.
