Creepy Google Street View
I've seen some creepy stuff about Google's Street View - and some that are less creepy and more funny. But I happened to be "in" my neighborhood tonight on Google, and found that they had recently photographed my street! Ah, now we're getting serious. Google has come to Woodview Avenue.
Now some of you may know I am at the end of a very long house renovation project, so it was interesting that they caught my house while it was under construction.
But because I had been taking fairly regular photos of the house myself, and because the house happened to be in the framing stage in Google's photo, and changing quite daily, I was able to pinpoint the exact day they drove down my street to do the street view - October 25, 2007! It was a fine day, about 68 degrees and sunny in Austin. It was the 20th anniversary of the Minnesota Twins' win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, taking their first MLB championship. I could go on and on about how great October 25 is and why that's really the best day Google could have chosen to photograph my street. But I have packing to do...
Nice pinpointing! October 25 would be great in my city, too. (A balloon fiesta going on)

Hey, for three guys working on this blog, there is an extremely low amount of information being posted?
The amount of information coming out of Autodesk right now concerning "Collaborative Project Management" (especially Constructware).
At the last User Conference there was a lot of talk about how Autodesk would be working very hard to communicate more with users.
It is frustrating to feel in the dark...even more since that time.
