Cool.
After a long hiatus, I’ve gone back to using Facebook. I realized I hated it because I was using it wrong. I expected it to be a medium for communication, where it was endlessly frustrating.
Now, I just watch it like TV. Let the news items wash over me and never go back to find something later. I don’t remember so much advertising, though.
Anyway, this one is pretty cool. It’s a German company that will make a 3D model of a city or landscape for you. Go on Google Earth, find the place you want modeled, put the coordinates into their website and they’ll quickly generate a preview.
For under £100, it’s pretty slick. I reckon they’re using data from an open source like OpenStreetMap and feeding it to a 3D printer. It includes color and a basic frame (more elaborate for more £).
I love maps. I had them make a sample image of my closest town. I was tempted, I admit, but I have no place to put such a thing.
