Google Earth, an Eye on Katrina

[NoSheep!] On CNN this morning they ran a segment about Google’s satellite imagery available through Google Earth. I’ve been excited about Google Maps and Google Earth for awhile, so enjoyed watching them show shots of New Orleans before and after Katrina.

Ron Lake - What is KML?

[Spatially Adjusted] . How would we encode say a building with a polygonal extent, a number of floors, a height, a position, a type (e.g. Church, Police Station etc), and the date when the building was erected.Defenders of GML are begining to take a closer look at KML.

Geobloggers : Flickr + Google Maps Remix

[False Positives] Lazyweb request:I wonder how hard it would be to whip up a GreaseMonkey script to show any Geobloggers (GeoFLickr/GmapFlickr/?) images for my current Google map? You would need to figure out the longitude and latitude of the current map then ask GeoBloger or FLickr and Map the results.

HotOrNot + Google maps mashup

[The Social Software Weblog - socialsoftware.weblogsinc.com] I’d love to see this kind of mashup for Tribe, Myspace, LiveJournal, etc. There’s already a whole community surrounding geoblogging, but it would be great if there were some standardized way to enter your blog location via your blog software itself and have it picked up by a Google blogger map mashup, so I could really easily find and connect with other bloggers in my area (or, meet some new bloggers while I’m travelling).

Geotagging and When: Why we need date and time as well as location

[Grasshoppermind] I had a few reasons for the feature request but I don’t think I could put it as well as this”¦ ”¦What happens to all the stuff we leave anchored to physical places but floating in virtual space year after year?”¦ ”¦Think about all the tourists that come to take pictures of the Duomo, once they start tagging their pictures with that location, we’ll end up with thousands of pictures tied to that place. Now imagine that ten years down the road, someone visits the Duomo, would that person be able to say, find the photos their father took at that location?”¦ Better still, broaden geotagging out past just pictures.

[The Hallway] Needed a bit of a distraction today, so I decided to brush up on my web services skills and see what makes the Plazes web API tick.

Gaze into my Aja(x)

[High Earth Orbit] I wanted to make the Gaze lookup service an Asynchronous call (AJAXwithout the X), but the problem lies in not typically being allowed tomake async calls to a non-local host. Therefore, I wrapped up the Gazeservice in a little PHP code (gaze-rest.php) that has the same API asthe actual gaze service, but acts like a ‘local service’.

[Technical Ramblings] In part, this may be due to previous limitations on Ning's end which have recently been resolved: looking at the phone client code, you'll see the ?xn_auth=no parameter, which allows you to skip cookie authentication. It's a pretty nice solution to the problem in my opinion—it solves what I need while not interfering with the rest of Ning.

[Paul Downey] Inspired by Jonathan's kml file production from geocaching loc files, I had a bit of fun shoving some of my geotagged photos into a kml file and flying around my recent travels in Google Earth. It's a bit of a one-off - I knifed and forked the data using a little pipe-line hackery and a bunch of ephemeral scripts.

bsuite_geocode Plugin For WordPress

[MaisonBisson.com] I could have added these links using the old Geo plugin, but I still would have had to insert the coordinates separately. Actually, that brings up a good point: my code also inserts post metadata in the same format the Geo plugin uses, so I can take advantage of all the good functions it has, like the one that inserts the “<meta name=“ICBM” content=“44.006336, -71.547260” />” tag in the header of this post (caveat: I had to disable the add_action code in Geo that feeds the postmeta table, as it was conflicting my code).
