One day do kids with pants below their butts wake up and say, woah, what was I thinking? This is what they look like underneath.

Nice memories of my year in Lisbon, under the watchful eyes of the old women in windows.

Okay, so first this guy has a full-time job blogging about Google Earth. Obviously he did not have that job before 2005 (when GE was released for the first time in its GE form). Wait, I could have done that job! That was a cool job! But was he satisfied with just being the best known GE blogger in the world? (and he was really good at it!) NO! Frank then had to leave that job for a five-year (5 years!) sail around the world with his lovely wife, Karen. They’ve now been in the South Pacific for weeks, and you can read about their explorations here. Crap! What bad choices have I made in life? What decisions do you have to make, and when, to be poised to JUMP when the spirit says JUMP!?

There’s a price for anything these days. Have no time to learn SketchUp but want to have your house, in all its real glory, on Google Earth? Send someone else photos of your house, pay $99, and have them make the model.

Our 2010 Mapping People Institute concluded today, part of the 3-yr grant received from the Keck Foundation. An indulgent 2.5 days of intellectual discussions around the topics of how we can best represent social and cultural information across geographic space, and why it matters for communication and learning. Had some great synergy among participants and I am eager for our 3 LENS Fellows to achieve great things this year.

London at night, by Stefan Wehrmeyer. I love the revelation of space coming out of the the shaded darkness.

Is anyone out there using Indiemapper? Here’s an overview of it.
I just downloaded the 30-day trial to play for a bit. I like its interface. I uploaded this shapefile of hurricanes and started designing a map within 20 seconds. Good export options too.

Nicely done map mashup of everyday life in Harlem, 1915-1930. Somebody has done lots of good cleanup work of historical records to make this work. Digital Harlem.
