Stereoscopic Streetview

Stereoscopic Streetview
I’ve been having fun with this one! (Above is the Guggenheim, below is The Santa Cruz Boardwalk.)

a new Google Maps hack allows you to access Streetview through a trippy panoramic fisheye lens, turning your favorite city street into a microcosmic earth or an immersive urban whirlpool.

Seeing as Google+ is a bit barin, and Facebook’s new redesign is their ugliest, most confusing iteration yet, The NOT Google+ movement is absolutely something I’m considering…

Winning at Google

pacgoogle

Jules linked me to google the moment I signed on, so she gets credit for showing me google’s home screen today.

I get credit for winning at google though!

Really, I’m not sure if it counts as a win since I’m not still playing (I couldn’t figure out pause.) I was a little bummed once I saw that the level map stays the same after intermission.

UnGoogled

UnGoogled
I honestly can’t think of a company that’s more integrated into my daily life like Google is. Abhigyan realized this and recently had a “Week of Discovering Alternatives For Google’s Services.”

I was shocked with what I saw. I was practically living my life with Google. And the revelation set my brain in motion – that maybe… just maybe, I’d become a Googaholic. I started wondering whether I could survive being off Google’s services for an entire week. And thus started my week-long quest to look for free, functional alternatives to most things Google.
