Google Maps talk Michael Geary | Wed, 2008-04-02 13:38 category Mapping Programming I’m giving a talk at Google tonight at 6pm about the election maps I’ve been working on. I’ll be talking about: How to use the same code for a mapplet, a Google Gadget, and a Maps API map Turn shape files into map tiles, polygons, and markers Collect voting results into JSON objects Marker madness - can we make it fast enough?

OnStar isn't the only company to work with mapping software companies. Garmin recently announced the ability to directly send maps and directions to a Garmin GPS navigation system. Rather than taking the painstaking process of looking up an address, writing it down and inputting it into your Garmin GPS navigation unit, you can just plug your Garmin into the computer and use a simple command now integrated into Google Maps and soon to be integrated in MapQuest on April 15 to shoot the directions

Quick update to my earlier post on the Sim-City-like 3D pixel art map of Hong Kong. Turns out there’s more of them, and that they’ve been around for quite a while already: The Map Room has this post on a Shanghai equivalent. Other Chinese cities seem to be available as well (see here), but I didn’t really manage to find a working link (and the interface on the Web map itself is all Chinese).

It was a beautiful day at Yosemite last Friday. Still snow on the ground, but t-shirt weather nonetheless. I know this shot has been overdone, but I thought a pano might make it a little different. I also tried a new workflow in processing my HDRs:Convert each of the three exposures from RAW to PSD in Photoshop CS3. Use same settings for each. Tonemap the three PSDs in Photomatix. Save as TIFF. Process the TIFF in Photoshop CS3. If pano, use same settings for each panel. If pano, merge the TI

[searchengineland.com] At the CTIA wireless industry trade show yesterday, among the scores of announcements, Microsoft said that it would be releasing a new and improved mobile IE browser for smartphones in the fall that promises to bring "desktop quality" to the mobile Internet experience. (Numerous others are engaged in this same pursuit including Safari, Mozilla, Opera and startup Skyfire.) The company also said that it was enhancing its Live Search client

Oddly, it turns out that my very simple method for bump-mapping shouldn’t have worked at all, as the normals stored in the normal-map are in a completely different coordinate-space (tangent space) to the rest of the scene. This explains why the bump map isn’t very convincing. I may be wrong on this (as I frequently am), but it looks as if it may not be possible to do bump-mapping ‘the proper way’ in QC, as all the methods I’ve seen seem to require values to be calculated outside the shader, t

I’ve recently been in Taiwan visiting the National Digital Archives Project where they were holding a conference to examine ways forward for international collaboration with Taiwan’s incredibly rich array of digitised resources. The sheer volume of digitisation work that the Taiwanese have been doing is quite incredible. Through many of the presentations there was an understanding [...]

russian_foreign_policy_toward_the_balkans.pdf Mind mapping is one of the techniques we’re exploring in my current intel class on techniques and methodologies. Attached to this post is a mind map of my final research project on Russian foreign policy toward the Balkans. I chose MindMeister because I already had access to it, and had used it on one previous occasion. As a method for organising one’s thoughts, planning the structure of the final paper, and seeing connections between the topics

Terrain Sculpties - OpenSim does Google Earth April 2nd, 2008 The past four days have been a tremendous blur of internalizing NURBS into my mind, at least the SL sculptie variant of them. Now I’ve been aware for several months of how NASA used sculpted prims to represent detailed Mars craters (as published by Ireton), and I’ve certainly followed the beautiful work for David Rumsey done both by Telemorphic in 2003 (3D plots of historic Lake Tahoe area) and more recent historic Yosemite by Nath

Analytical solutions to the dimensionality reduction problem are only possible for quadratic cost functions, like Isomap, LLE, Laplacian Eigenmaps, … All these solutions are sensitive to outliers. The issue with the quadratic hypothesis is that there is no outilers, but on real manifolds, the noise is always there. Some cost functions have been proposed, also known as stress functions as they measure the difference between the estimated geodesic distance and the computed Euclidien distance in

Apparently their technical people are all at trade-shows at the moment so my bigger question will have to wait until they get back, but they were at least able to answer my question about their “tabletop” digital microscopes magnification (answer: the “600x” really is optical magnification, not digital.)

The Lost Tribe Posted by AainaA at April 2, 2008 Seeing that there is an even bigger reality outside the Internet, how do Social Entrepreneurs gauge the importance of their networks over the other and retain members over a periodic membership time-frame, without encroaching on members’ lifestyle? Apart from inciting what used to be the other permissible reality before the Internet and the non-digitizing of future, businesses are seen scurrying to substitute realities creating social para

TomTom, TeleAtlas, Nokia and Navteq Advance to the Final Four April 1st, 2008 by MDob Both the TomTom acquisition of TeleAtlas and the Nokia merger with Navteq have been shuttled to the infamous Phase II review by the European Commission. Rumors abound concerning what is going on behind closed doors. All parties involved have been taciturn in their comments on the deliberations.
