I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.

Keyhole.com

Google recently acquired www.KeyHole.com

Keyhole is a downloaded client connected to a massive database of satellite images. You can type in a US Street address and see the buildings.  The tilt feature allows you to look around in context.

This is one of the most impressive uses of a computer I’ve seen.  In these days of national security it’s almost staggering that it’s available.

There’s a 30 day trial.  Worth a download.

Won’t be long until KeyHole and http://maps.google.com are connected.
