Google Maps and Airports...

Google Maps of course rock. On a whim when searching for directions from the Fort Lauderdale Airport to the Spring Experience conference venue, I just put in the airport's short name (FLL) and Google Maps took it from there!

I just love it when something works in a way that is even better than I expected.

Adobe Flex2 is out...

Apparently Adobe Flex2 is available for download today.
When Adobe first announced Flex 2 last fall, it said that it would make the core software development kit (SDK), which provides the core programmer tooling without the bells and whistles of a visual IDE, available for free. The SDK just released includes the framework itself, compiler, documentation, and a command line debugger.
It would be great to be able to use the free SDK compiler to make a simple AJAX driven 3D pie-chart not unlike the ones in Google Analytics. Adobe even provides an open source Flash-Ajax bridge project for linking AJAX activity to a swf file.

Has someone already done this or am I ahead of the curve?

Seth speaks at Google...

Seth Godin speaking at Google. I haven't finished watching it all yet, but Seth is a brilliant speaker and writer. His latest book All Marketers Are Liars is a great read for all of us intellectual types.

Here is a funny screen grab:

Sure would hate to have to pay that fine...or suffer instant death for that matter :-P
