Google Streetview Hyperlapse

Simply amazing.


Update: What's even better... go make your own on the Teehan+Lax. Here's my 30-40 commute, roughly, from home to work. There & back in 10 seconds.

Best of January Links

It's 2013, time to work on whipping this mapping blog back into shape. Hopefully I can add a little more insight on what's going on, map-wise, in and around Vancouver, BC.

LOCAL: Sarah Pearce is giving a talk to the Vancouver GIS Users Group, Wednesday, Feb 6 at the BC Hydro Building downtown. Details.

NATIONAL: ESRI Canada has a new catalogue of courses. Check it out, stay on top of new tech.

INTERNATIONAL: The URISA Vanguard Cabinet picked a new set of Young Professionals to add to the ranks. As one of the original five founding members, it's been an illuminating process, and kudos to URISA for getting us YP members more involved in the organization. Best of luck newbies! (Maybe we need an Annual Report like this group!)

GIS Career Advice: Great advice, as usual, from Bill Dollins: Yes, You Need to Code.

Map-Tastic: The London Tube Map, reimagined with curves and circles.

Best Practices: Lifehacker How I Work Series: Jason Pontin & Katie Pomodoros.

Graphic Excellence, with a Vancouver geographic twist. So many high school memories at Broadway & Granville, waiting for the bus to the suburbs.

Viral Video: This is nuts. A 360 pushup? Now that's just showing off now.

Swimming near/on thin sea ice (Norway)

Love this video making the rounds of the Internets this week. Combines two of my favorite things... skating & swimming. Kudos to Sports Illustrated for posting this on their blog. Enjoy.

Earthbrowser

Via the planet geospatial feed, I stumbled upon this... Earthbrowser. Pretty cool. I'd like to see if I could add it on the side as a Blogger gadget. Until then, I'll have to add it here.
