The rollout for the US is complete and they'll be bringing updates to Europe over the next few months. I'm really excited and hoping to let go of Google Maps for good once Look Around is available. Just this week, as good as Street View is, the data was so old, the image quality so bad it was unusable.

The updates are pretty impressive:

Finland continue to plant 150million trees a decade, around 50% of cars sold in Norway are electric and this from Denmark. I love how the Scandinavians think.

I've linked to James McCarthy's images of the Moon once before, when he put together a 100-megapixel image of a lunar eclipse. To stitch 100,000 photos together takes some doing but to get the detail he has from Earth is just amazing.

The DK logo adorned a large number of books from my youth, I even have books targeted at teens and adults so I've seen the old logo many times over the past 30 or so years. The evolution is really nice use in digital places but actually translates quite nicely to the physical world too.

I came across this change 5 days ago, but it took me a while to decide if I like it or not.

At the bottom you can click through to see the data and Iceland could generate more than 200,000% of their energy use this way. Why climate change is up for discussion and why a solution hasn't been found or settled on already is beyond me.
