Not sure about indoor look and feel or long term quality, but equivalent of 15 days to construct IS impressive.

Off Topic/Weekend Diversion: Christmas Concert, With All Music from IPAD or IPHONE.

Not sure how I feel about this, technically impressive but on the verge of "creepy"? (For some reason it also reminds me of the Chipmunks).

Google's CitizenTube Blog.

Google has begun CitizenTube, a YouTube blog that focuses on..

" two types of posts: the compelling political and social uses of YouTube that we see the community bubble up every day, and our own programming initiatives and partnerships in the political, news, and nonprofit arenas."

The CitizenTube blog is HERE. Many recent posts focus on the election turmoil in Iran, but another recent post HERE highlighted the Oregon 2059 project, a futures project related to Oregon's 150th anniversary and the Oregon Chalkboard project.

I will be adding a link in the right panel to CitizenTube.
