Google 3D Build Contest

Recreating your college campus sounds more like a rote homework assignment to me than a way to foster the kind of creativity that really grabs people and leads to wider adoption of a tool like SketchUp. Google isn’t looking for creativity at all here, just technical skills.

not to diss my coworkers, but he has a point here: they could have sponsored a more interesting contest.

Pointless Satellite censorship

I’ve been told off (politely) via email for showing terrorist readers of Ogle Earth how to get to the imagery that used to be in Google Earth by publicizing the Google Maps API tile comparison tool in my previous post. The argument was that these things may be easy for me, but not for the average Iraqi, and that what I did was akin to posting information on how to pick locks. I only partly agree. I think my previous post was more like pointing out that there is no door to lock. 10 minutes ago I gave myself the task of getting hold of recent imagery of Basra without access to Google Earth or the Google Maps API. I got what I was looking for on the first try. Tell me if what I just did is not accessible to anyone with dial-up internet, a point to prove, and a positive IQ.
