Google doctype
May 15th, 2008
New developer resource from Google:
doctype
Doctype is a Google-sponsored open encyclopedia and reference library for developers of web applications. By web developers, for web developers.
* Open source
* Open content
* Open to contributions from anyone
Looks like a very useful resource and an interesting new application of social media. Not sure if it’s wiki-based, or whether this is something new from Google. Found via Gruber.
Google Maps “Bike There” petition
February 29th, 2008
When I was figuring out my route to work via bike, I used Google Maps. I ended up having to do a lot of blue-line dragging, though, because, even with Avoid Highways turned on, i still wasn’t easy to plot a bike-friendly route. There’s a online petition asking Google to add a “Bike There” button to Google Maps, and if you’re at all for sustainable transportation, I hope you’d take a minute to go sign it. It’s at:
http://googlemapsbikethere.org/
Thanks.

I don’t want to know

I know it may seem like it’s been all Google all the time round here lately, but how the hell did this news story get associated with this photo?
Also get that other headline: “Laura Bush won’t vote for Hillary Clinton.” Now there’s news.
Update: Dorothea informs me in comments that Ms Bush recently went on a breast cancer awareness tour in the Middle East, which explains the graphic. Thanks for the explanation. This still doesn’t exactly seem like the best choice of illustration for the story, though.

Oh yeah? Here’s your support question:
I don’t even want your stinky Google-fected IMAP. Ha. Oh, all right, I do.
