A beautiful and touching walk through Tokyo with mellowmeful.

mellowmeful’s description:
I chose this song because I moved here in 2006 (which is when RegularJOE wrote the song), and I felt very “sick” for a while. But I’m glad I went through that because now I’m stronger than ever. (I’m still a coward though. Funny thing is I’m born on Halloween, haha.)
May we all grow stronger every day.

P.S. For those who live there, tell the Los Angeles sky I said hi and that I miss him very, very much.
This RECord’s super sweet on its own. Also a great contribution to the RE:Cities collaboration. Perhaps you’ve RECorded your city? Contribute here.
This is so great! What a touching video. :)

The next revolution to online mapping.
I heard some chatter about this yesterday but finally checked it out. Some of the best ideas are so simple. “Why didn’t I think of that?” Google Maps revolutionized how we used maps, blowing away MapQuest and other choppy mapping tools. Animating zooms, allowing users to drag the map, and asynchronously loading new image tiles. These were all solutions to a specific problem.
The new approach Google is taking is a ground-up re-think of how we can view maps. The map data is stored in vector format, but we were previously thinking of new and better ways of experiencing images created from those vectors. Streaming tiles at various resolutions is a solution to an image mapping problem. But what if you throw away all those problems and all those solutions and stream the *vector* data to the client?
Google has once again completely changed the online mapping game.

I love this. Wish I could’ve experienced it first hand. Reminds me of the kind of crap they do at the Exploratorium in SF!
Quite clever. It doesn’t really translate to a computer or television screen because they don’t get as bright.
The new Learn More video from Viddler
For years Viddler has had a Learn More page that was used to introduce newcomers to what Viddler was capable of. For most of that time it didn’t feature a video explaining what Viddler does but…
This video is so darn awesome! I even included it in my post about having an awesome day on September 15th.
Billy and Andrew did a great job getting this page looking awesome!
