Since I seem to be highlighting software that I am interested in getting time to work with lately, I thought I would return to Project Galileo, a great project that is currently going on over at Autodesk Labs.

One of my favorite pre-SuperBowl commercials
I know this has already made its blog rounds, but after using it as a PSA in class this week I just wanted to share it again. Just remember, while your in car navigation system is a wonderful thing…it doesn’t actually think, just a lot of math.
3D Street-style Mapping with Kinect
Almost daily, I see a new cool and amazing hack that someone has accomplished with Microsoft’s Kinect that tops the last one.
