…there’s another one? I hear you gasp! Yes, it seems the old one about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery has struck a chord at streetdirectory.com.au – and they obviously love Google! This is sort of amazing to me – I mean it’s incredible enough that a giant corporation like google pushes forward with [...]

Melburnians are obsessed with weather. More accurately, we are obsessed with predicting the weather. Of course it’s a national joke that we can have four seasons in one day, but we don’t mind that as long as we can tell when those seasons will fall.

I was in Sydney last week for the excellent WDS08, but it was some other aspects of Sydney that I want to write about this time. 1. Soul Sydney doesn’t seem to have one. I find it an intensely sad city – I’m sure there are exceptions, but Sydney is beautiful in spite of what [...]

I don’t know when this happened, but last night when I placed some photos on my flickr map, I was delighted to see that (in certain areas, and at certain magnifications) they have started to use OpenStreetMap for the map layer. Yahoo were generous enough to allow OSM to use their satellite data as a [...]
