I knew I saw one of those camera-rigged cars in Jupiter last year. Google just rolled out Street View coverage of Palm Beach County and lots of other places, which is pretty cool, on the whole. Then again, in a way its introduction only makes me more frustrated that Google’s ortho coverage of Palm Beach [...]

Fact: Foreigners have newspapers, too. Not only that, but those newspapers often have offices inside of buildings. I even featured one here last year, and figured it was time to bring you another. Neil McIntosh did all the work for this week’s edition of Paper View Monday, so I’ll just sit back and enjoy the [...]

Let’s stay in Texas this week and have a look at the Austin American-Statesman in Virtual Earth/Live Maps. The Statesman, I suppose it should be noted, resides in the same benevolent corporate bosom as my employer.

The Lubbock (Texas) Avalanche-Journal, Virtual Earth/Live Maps. I don’t know the last time Lubbock suffered an avalanche, but it is home to my favorite mentally ill college football coach. Click the picture for all the hot map action.

Mike Pride’s essay in the current issue of CJR, which one apparently can’t get online, is an excellent read. After nearly 30 years as the Concord Monitor’s editor, Pride spent his final year before retirement as a reporter. Or, as he puts it, “my job became to provide content.” If only every editor would do [...]

The Charlotte Observer, Virtual Earth/Live Maps. Click the picture to have a look for yourself.

The lever on my gigantic Paper View Monday machine has been jammed on “Florida” for a full five weeks now, and hasn’t spit out a western newspaper building since February. I think it’s sorted now, however, so let’s jet off to Salem, Oregon for a look at the Statesman Journal in Virtual Earth/Live Maps. Trivia [...]

What happens when you offer buyouts to half of your 1,326 employees? Why, you get your red ink-bleeding behind featured in a bumper edition of Paper View Monday, of course. (Is anyone in charge of these business failures ever actually going to be held responsible, or will the same chumps remain in charge until they [...]

Just look at that valuable waterfront property. Every time I see it I think: condos. Eh, I’m probably the only one. The Miami Herald, Virtual Earth/Live Maps, etc. The picture below is best mashed emphatically in order to facilitate the closer inspection of the original map at a speed more to your liking.
