loc.alize.us

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about Flickr integrating geotagging in their site.  This was awesome, but there is one “shortfall”.  Flickr uses Yahoo! Maps to place your photos, which is logical considering Yahoo bought Flickr last year.  The downside of this is that relative to Google Maps, Yahoo Maps kind of stink, especially outside the U.S.  Thankfully (and wisely), Flickr kept their geotagging API open so that other developers could use it.

Enter loc.alize.us.  It maps all geotagged photos in Flickr (both traditional tags and Flickr’s new super-friendly tagging scheme) on Google Maps.  Check it out!

Performancing Makes Blogging Easy!

If you’re running Firefox (which you should be) and write a blog, Performancing is a must-have extension.  It allows you to compose blog posts right within Firefox without having to go to some stupid site, log in, and compose your post (in my case, this would be blogger.com).  You can do everything right within Performancing, including editing old posts and the like.  It’s awesome.

Sounds of Silence

I’ve been noticeably absent from the blog lately, thanks in most part to Lloyd Carr and his band of raging defensive linemen.
