  • I don’t know why I started a blog. Partially because all the cool kids were, partially because it’s fun to write shit down, partially because it documents what I feel is important enough to add here, partially because I wanted to attention whore, partially to share with people who give a crap. Lots of little reasons.

    I noticed that more and more I post the little things on Facebook. It’s just too easy to post a little link or snap a pic with my phone and send it to Facebook. It feels more and more like this blog only gets half of the story.

    I’m not sure how I feel about that.

    Was messing around looking at some stuff on Bing maps and saw a link to a new beta version of the maps, so I clicked it.

    Wow! Really nice stuff. The map now changes from map view to aerial to bird’s eye automatically as you zoom in and they’ve added a “Streetside” feature that viciously crushes Google’s Street View. The whole thing is ridiculously smooth and intuitive – it just feels right and it looks damn good.

    Definitely go check out the beta.

    Click over to watch the biggest version (HD) and skip ahead to around 1:30 (right after I use the Diamondback logo to fill space) and watch the track after the train passes over. I never realized it moves that much on the drop. Crazy stuff that I only noticed when I slowed the shot down.
