First off, go check out Richard Stephenson's Map Maker application that he has been working on all summer. As one of the alpha/beta testers, I have to say that the Donkey Magic Map Maker app really came in handy for Google Map coordinates when my GPS device was off getting a message, as I could put in the coordinates that the dyslexic* GPS device gave me and then use Rich's application to find where it really was and then generate the correct coordinates. Thanks Rich!

If you are going to the Carson Web Apps Summit in San Francisco this month, enjoy. I went to the London summit in Feb. 2006 and it was very good.

As for me, I leave in about 15 mins to go attend d.Construct 2006 in Brighton, UK, tomorrow. Off to web dev land I go...

* The Garmin Rino 530 is a singing, radio, dancing, chatting, mapping, geo-caching, practically will do your laundry for you overkill GPS device made for a man's hand**, but funnily enough it is off by 50 miles east to the real map coordinate about 35% of the time. My brother first calibrated it in Calif, I re-calibrated it in Dublin to no avail. Quirky.

** Ok, so why are so many handheld tech devices made for really big paws? Hello people, can we get a small, medium and large?
