woohoo. my team just launched this

This change will have a greater impact in the mobile world. I could envision standing on a street corner in NYC and selecting for a grade of restaurant within walking distance. Unfortunately, Google’s reviews don’t account for cost or food preference variables and would still have limited value in this context. Does anyone know if this feature is now available on the iPhone?

OpenOffice fails at life

if you ever tried to use OpenOffice or NeoOffice to create a presentation with images and timed animations (bare-bones, standard stuff, in other words), do yourself a favor and delete those useless applications from your machine. you’ll thank me. how those clowns can ship software that randomly replaces your images with the dreaded ‘broken image’ image, or that forgets about the animations it is supposed to show, and gives you a blank slide instead, is beyond me. with desktop “productivity” applications this bad, no wonder people are defecting to online.

Volcano Boarding

We bring you to the base of the volcano “Cerro Negro” (Black Mountain). Together we climb for 40 minutes to the top, taking in the views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding volcanos in the area. From the top looking down, there is a 500 meter black sand slope at a 40 degree angle.

this weekend, bitches!

Towards the Geoweb

heh. the economist calls my work on kml standardization “the road to web 3.0”.
2007-10-18: Mining Information from Collections and KML

Among the results were many amazing links that completed my research by taking me to geo-referenced content on the web; the Rome honeymoon Collection lead me to this great photo of the fountain and this KML file from Google’s keyhole BBS lead me to this stunning Panorama of the area.

I hope this brief overview helps get you started with this new feature in Live search maps. I find it to be one of the most fun and useful (I’m biased as I work on the VE Collections team), and when combined with other features like 3D Birds eye navigation the line between research and leisurely exploration get pretty blurry

very commendable how they talk about the geoweb.
