Geo-Personalised Data Newspaper, aka The Postcode Paper #newspaperclub or How I’m always late to my own party.

Tom Taylor, Gavin Bell and I made a newspaper but more on that in a moment. Considering everyone who reads this blog would have seen this already, I could just point you at the Newspaper Club’s own blog post: Data.gov.uk Newspaper, or this post over here: Postcode Paper: What you can do with the right [...]

Nearest Tube Augmented Reality App for iPhone 3GS – The AR is starting

I’ve just spent the last few days in London rushing around the place, not really having a clue where I was going. Meaning that most of the time I’d rather jump into a cab than take the tube. Well that and the heat, the Underground is hot, taxis have Air Conditioning. Also I generally don’t [...]

Damn’it … iPhone 3GS and 3.0OS … Brady gets in first, and Ants!

Last night I was mulling over the new iPhone and 3.0OS stuff, and then Brady goes and covers most of it anyway: What the iPhone 3GS and 3.0 OS Means for Geo Devs. Really the two elements I was most interested in were the Compass for pretty much the reasons Brady (damn him!) states … [...]

New Flickr API, geotagged photos as they happen

I’ve just made a post over at the Flickr Code Blog: Panda Tuesday; The History of the Panda, New APIs, Explore and You about the new Panda APIs, mainly flickr.panda.getPhotos. Why, you may ask, is this of interest to your general geoblogger? Well, when you call the flickr.panda.getPhotos method you pass in the name of [...]

Where I’m actually living in augmented reality, Jefferson Airplane and what does this mean for photos.

Here’s the breakdown, first I’ll mention augmented reality, then I’ll ramble a bit, then I’ll make a point, or not, depending on how the rambling has gone. First the Augmented Reality part. I’ve downloaded RjDj onto my iPhone, it’s basically two things 1) Awesome, 2) Sound processing software that samples your environmental soundscape and plays [...]

Map Shoes

When I first saw that Zazzle were doing shoes my first thought was, obviously, ‘Quick, stick a map on them’ … And since then I’ve been doing nothing but messing around with the designer and making map shoes of San Francisco (just north of Golden Gate Bridge) Sadly they only do Womens and Kids shoes [...]

Look Around Photos in 3D (ish)

By some strange quirk today I came across this great way to, well, look around photos taken at a single location … … by using Creative Commons photos from Flickr. Although I’m sure any repository of geotagged photos would do. Far more information in the creators blog post over here http://openphotovr.jottit.com/re_panoramio. This screen shot taken [...]

Google Earth in a browser (sort of), Scriptable, a quick peek and poke.

Radar points out that you can now get a ‘Lite’ (my word not theirs) version of Google Earth as a plug-in for IE and FF on Windows only (boo!), more information over here. Which is, you know great. More-so this is the really exciting part, for me anyway … Google Earth, as an application is [...]

Yahoo Woe (Where On Earth, that is) IDs.

Roll up, roll up, roll up, get your WoE IDs here … http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/ … a jolly nice step in the right direction. Yahoo have opened up their geo database (which is pretty good btw) which is far more awesome than I’m going to make it sound in this blog post. I already did a little [...]

Geotagging Goes Mainstream …

… you know officially! Before today we were like totally niche, but now that Microsoft has declared “Geotagging Goes Mainstream” I guess we’re out in the spotlight now. Next thing you know we’ll have major newspapers writing articles about geotagging and everything! All kidding aside this looks like a pretty good tool. I say looks [...]
