Google Maps: Drag and Drop Directions

Random — Tim @ 6:26 am

Google Maps has added a feature that allows you to get directions, and then by dragging and dropping points, instantly update and change the route and the information. Great for planning walking field trips at school. For example a popular trip for our teachers is to visit the Cooley Art Gallery at Reed College. Reed is less than a mile away. If you type in a request for driving directions, you get a pretty good route by car, but since we are walking, we need to adjust the map. Just click on the blue route marker and drag and the route is automatically updated. A video from Google below shows how easy this is.

PicLens: Immersive Full Screen Images…

Random — Tim @ 11:37 am

Piclens Screenshot

PicLens is an immersive full-screen experience for viewing photos on the Web. Supports the presentation of images in the following web sites:

  • Flickr
  • Facebook
  • Google Images
  • Yahoo Images
  • Friendster
  • Picasa Web Albums
  • Media RSS

This is a pretty slick little tool for Firefox and Safari. Basically if you are visiting one of the sites listed above, you just need to mouse over an image and click the arron icon to engage the tool. It darkens the screen and the image grows full size to fill the screen. Am thinking this would be great for presentations and classroom demonstrations and such. Throw some images into Flickr, arrange, and you have an instant, low overhead, presentation.

Turner Field Panorama

Went to the Tigers vs. Braves game last night with some friends. This is the view from the upper deck in right field at Turner Field. Like most modern ball parks, it is a baseball field built around a food court.
