Awesome story of scoping out a race course with a GPS unit, then going home and using Google Earth to find a similar training loop to practice on.

Google Earth increasingly compliant with censorship requests: US intelligence report"Google has becoming increasingly compliant to government requests to block purportedly sensitive information -- including images of Tibet, military installations and even a General Electric research plant -- according to a new report prepared by the Open Source Center for the Bush Administration's Director of...

The Android Guys are reporting on the design of the Google Phone from T Mobile and it's looking pretty impressive. They also link to a spec sheet showing the phone will have a sizeable screen, pull out keyboard, 3 megapixel camera, and more. I'm glad to have been correct to suggest the phone would make it out before next year and expect this to be a very popular 2008 Christmas Gift, even if the...

Actually, I hate ALL software companies that try to force you into using "new" versions of their products with "new" features you don't want. Google is apparently now forcing all users to use their "suggested searches." I don't want that feature. I don't want to start typing in a search for "hot as hades" and, after five letters, be told that maybe what I am searching for is "hot asians." Try it....

Imagine you're the driver of the GoogleMobile, happily snapping your panoramic pix by the gigabyte, and you come upon this (double-click on the image to zoom in): View Larger Map Sadly, the closeup of this house in Arkansas is no longer available on Street View (try 'driving' up the...

I subscribe to bloggers and newsletters than I care to admit, but rarely do any of them get more than a cursory glance before I hit the "archive" button (gotta love Gmail's endless storage supply). For some reason, today I actually did read a few sentences of Portland Picks' weekly missive, and it led me to take a test to determine my "real age" (meh, I was bored). According to their site, the...

Ick! All the technology I own seems to be disintegrating before my very eyes. I can't even upload a picture for this post or access Google Reader and that's just the start of it! Life and work is super busy at the moment so it's rather frustrating to not have these "essentials" working:) A few points of business! *Tomorrow Snippet&Ink is featuring a wedding that I created flowers/decor for....
