Google Maps Street View is pretty amazing. The detail, the 360 view, the small increments between images. Just see these poor guys driving down Park Drive N. Google is quite amazing. This new street view has mapped 5 cities in the US.

James Ward has created a nice little application for benchmarking Rich Internet Applications. And Flex sure is the winner, when it comes to separating content and layout. Serverside-generated table loading via AJAX is fast too, but that is not a very nice solution to many’s opinion. Thus, Flex clearly wins overall, and AJAX JSON comes in second place, if you cannot go the flash way.

Thanks to Digg, the cult RTS now earns the indy developer 20 million page views and high four figures in revenue a month. Expenses: server costs, and a supply of Red Bull.
Personally, I am a huge fan of this game – it is so simple, yet so advanced and strategic. It reminds me of the two games, that in the recent years have had me losing sleep (and I rarely do that to a game): Total Annihilation and its conceptual successor, Supreme Commander.

Important update: Google Calendar has built-in tasks since May 13th. This script is thus no longer necessary to install.
I’ve discovered GreaseMonkey. Yes, I am a bit late, but once I finally installed it, I sure love it. Though the script, that I needed, only existed in a very simple version.
I have thus taken the initial version of the Google Calendar TODO list by Matias Pelenur and the modified version by Gimite Ichikawa and created a brand new version that I submitted to UserScripts.org.
First thing this new version does is, that it uses the eventStatus-field for setting whether the todo has been done or not. And then there is a flush button to flush (remove) todones. And finally the todos and todones are sorted using the status and title. This will be a work in progress and will be developed further upon.

It is now official. Flash On The Beach will return in 2007 with a longer schedule and even more impressive sessions than last time.
And the full burito is only £249 if you’re fast. See you there?
