Making my mark on Google Earth

Today I was looking around on google earth on my laptop, and I remembered seeing someone's 3d model of a mountain in there. It was very basic, just two blocks stacked on top of one another, but the significance was that it was someone's model. I wondered if I could also do this. Then I discovered something really cool. Synergsticool. The developers of two programs I've been raving about, Google Earth and Sketchup, have been talking and created a free plugin. Basically it lets you import google earth topographical maps and arial images into sketchup, then you can build your model on them, and then plug that BACK in to google earth as an overlay. So today I stuck a basic model of my library on the site.

You can see it too (if you have Google Earth installed). Just click here to download the overlay. Save the file, and then you can go into google earth, and go file: open to find the file again. This is just too cool. I'm going to build a better model and then use this in my final presentation.

I finished writing my paper last night and Jen and I swapped to critique and edit each other's paper. I need to finish one last revision tonight and I'm good to print. Also need to go grocery shopping. I'm down to a slice of pizza and spagetti and chili ingreediants.
