Inkspot

inky thoughts in the digital world ...

Here at the Inkspot, I'll be talking a bit about everything paper and IT -- books, media, IP, legal issues, being a consultant, and other odds & ends that strike my fancy.

Some of the subjects I'm likely to talk about:

Anime/Manga

Books (especially ebooks)

Copyright

Linux (as a user, not a programmer!)

Science Fiction

WorldCons (and other opportunities to talk about books)

Food! (one of those odds & ends ...)

Hope you enjoy your visit.

Maps, maps, and more maps!!!

A short while ago Google bought keyhole. a mapping software company whose product allows you to creat amazing maps (even of Mars!!). This software has even been used by the U.S. military. See them at Keyhole. But more importantly, it appears that Google is using this technology to give the public access to amazingly detailed maps and directions of the the US. Go, run - do not walk - to maps.google.com. Enjoy!!
