a reminder: earth hour
March 28, 2008
Just a reminder, that from 8:00pm to 9:00pm Saturday, March 29 to turn out the lights for Earth Hour. Google’s going to. What can you do in an hour of darkness? Light up a candle and read a book, play a boardgame, look through old photo albums, take a stroll. You can think of more creative things than I can.
This is also to plug in Adobe’s new Photoshop Express, which I used to edit the screenshot above. It’s a neat little tool if you want to edit images when you’re on the go.
google, what can’t they do

When they hear the telltale sirens of a fire truck bursting out of the station in Nanaimo, the locals don’t need to look out of the window or tune in to newscasts to find out where the action is. Instead, they can simply log on to Google Maps or Google Earth and track the firefighters in real time as they tear down the streets of this Vancouver Island port community. The Google-enabling of Nanaimo’s fire service, launched just weeks ago, is the latest venture in a British Columbia town that has been dubbed the capital of Google Earth.
