Taken in South Of Market, San Francisco, CA, US by Rev Dan CattWell, here I am in San Francisco, enjoying the clear skies and slightly cold weather.On the plus side, I’m mainly over the jetlag, so at least that’s not keeping me awake at night.On the down side, my 4 month old son is not over the jetlag, so I’m still waiting for that to settle down.Signs of being from the UK; washing all the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

Taken in Stoke-on-Trent, England by RevDanCattNo posts last couple of days, or for the next few days.Over the last week we’ve been getting ready for our big move from the UK to San Francisco…. Time-zones have been weird and all that fun and games.Hopefully now that I’ve going to be actually sitting with the rest of the gang I’ll get a chance to …a) Get my evenings back and return to normal family life.b) Kick it up a notch at Flickr and start bashing through Maps Version 2 Stuff.See you all on the other side!

Just incase you run out of space when planning your “mapping and taking photos of every street corner” projects.

[Via ogleearth]Driscoll Study Points Way to High Interest in Cellular LBS ApplicationsYou lot will have seen this anyway but, Joe over at All Points Blog makes a post that shows how the public want their Cellular based LBS…. A far better write up and review than I could ever do, from the Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog.Alan, the Travel Geographer, reviews TrippermapNot so much a review but Alan gives a good quick overview of his first experience with Trippermap.

Sergio snippet blogs a link about Augmented Reality”Imagine the ability to automatically receive information about nearby points of interest, immediately locate friends, get accurate directions, and create dynamic geo-referenced information around the world to share with others” – but it’s not so much ‘Imagine’ now-a-days.Ed Parsons leaves the Ordnance SurveyI’ve heard many good things about Ed so it’ll be interesting to see where he heads off too…. import into iPhoto, tidy up in Photoshop, upload to Flickr, I’ll see if it works just before the upload step.

Anyone who’s done a couple of geocaches will know what I mean, I dug around in the damp undergrowth to find a tupperware box full of slightly rusty hairclips, 4 hair bands, a couple of plastic keyrings, some germ riddled mini soft toy and a soggy ‘calling card’ from ‘Five go Mad in Dorset and Timmy to Dog – Bagged this Cache’…. Some time after that, there’ll be a handful of ‘Here be Dragons’ unmapped areas, and as we know, people will fall over themselves to be the first to trudge down some backwater lane, in the rain, on a Sunday, preferably with a pub at the end.

I’m off down to London today to meet interesting-peopleâ„¢, which means I’ll not be blogging today.Some will say that there’ll be not much difference to normal and they’d be right. However the difference is that I have a bunch of stuff I want to write up and not get the chance until next week now, just frustrating then.Which means I’ll leave you with a comment follow up to Backseat Playground which is worth a read and of course another lush Eyes on the World picture.Pip-pip.
