Google and Doodle
I just noticed a new program Google released to work with it beta version of Google Earth (GE). Sketchup is a fairly simple 3d modeling and texture tool for making down and dirty 3d-models. The most obvious application is adding texture-mapped buildings into GE. It has import and export settings that let you build right on the satellite data using real world dimensions. I played around with it this morning, making my apartment building:
I plan on making a better version, as well as improving/finishing the version of where I work:
Here’s a suit I think many a man could use:
Text reads: As a sensitive fellow, you know that talking to the fairer sex is a act fraught with liabilities. You deserve better. You deserve anonymity. You deserve a FLIRTING SAFETY SUIT. In this wonderful, high-quality suit you are free to chat away with the ladies. Any negative reactions slide off your back like water off a DUCK SUIT (sold separately). Who knows, maybe with your newfound confidence you’ll be talking your way into almost certain acts of sexual intercourse!*
*Results may vary.
