Google Maps street view – 360degree view of Neighborhood

Street View on Google Maps helps you see a 360 degree view of most streets. Google Maps called “Street View”, Street View gives you the ability to view 360° panoramas of street-level imagery on Google Maps:

For a cool demo of how this works, take a look at this fun YouTube clip:

..This page features the same YouTube clip with more information and links to read about.

This new Maps viewing experience is much better test driven than being read about so head over to Google Maps (or follow the direct city links above), center the map on the US and click “Street View” up at the top. Choose a city with a camera marker and zoom in to have a play!

Share Microsoft Office files online

I have worked with some of you to step out into the world of technology and embrace the benefits of using it to make life simplier, and here is another step in that direction. I know I am probably asking for questions, but I think this could help simplify life.

Here is a new service that allows you to share documents and organize your electronic life on the internet. Microsoft has setup a free way to store and share your Office files(Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc…) online. Take a look at the site and give it a try.

I have been waiting a while for something like this where I could go online, edit a document online, save it online and not need to put it on a flash drive or email myself the file. Another cool thing is that can organize tasks, lists and schedules for a family or group in one spot.

Hope this makes your life easier and more organized.

Privacy and security of your data is something that I feel more comfortable with Microsoft than other sites out there. “BUT” In general keep in mind the information you put on this site or the internet in general is not the same as having your data on your own computer.

Listen to Bible in a Year

I created a webpage based on Tom Dooley’s BibleonRadio.com content. Unfortunately the site did not always have the most updated content, so I developed a couple of pages that allows you to choose the date you want to listen to and either stream it over the internet/phone or download the file to play on your mp3 player. The streaming page was created for playing on my cell phone.

To play the audio on my cell phone I needed the following software:TCMP – http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/tcpmp.smartphone.0.72RC1.cab
