New Google Maps Street View imagery in Manhattan
October 10, 2009 @ 10:47 pm
I don’t remember reading an official post about it from Google, so who knows how long this new Street View imagery has been up, but apparently Google has launched brand-new Street View imagery in certain locations all throughout Manhattan. The new imagery is ultra-sharp compared to what was being used previously, and now there’s actually a reason to use Google’s zooming feature while browsing in Street View mode.
The imagery is sharper and generally higher resolution and there appears to be a bigger range in accepted exposures (as you can see in the image above which shows actual clouds in the sky rather than just a blown out white space like it was previously). It looks like Google Maps covered most of the avenues in NYC first before going down the individual streets, but so far, a good portion of the island is switched over to the new imagery making the Google Maps browsing experience overall more satisfying (and creepy…maybe).
UPDATE: Oh ok, it looks like I just overlooked this Google announcement from Thursday.

The White House on Vimeo
January 27, 2009 @ 8:48 pm
This is great! The White house has an active dedicated channel on Vimeo featuring the President’s weekly address along with other official White House clips. I think it’s a much better alternative than YouTube’s identical channel because the video quality on Vimeo is far better than it is on YouTube. The only thing I can think of that makes YouTube’s channel worth visiting is for the closed-captioning option (in case you need it). Otherwise, Vimeo wins this distribution race hands-down.
Soulja Boy vows to be a better example for the kids

I don’t know what or who encouraged Soulja Boy to put out this public statement, but he did and I guess we’ll be seeing a more mature and lyrically-smart artist in the near future (hopefully). I guess you can only rap about yourself and how much money you have in only so many different ways before realizing that you can do better.
