Write a Facebook application May 7, 2008

Something that I'm curious to try is writing a Facebook application. Now, I'm sure that many a developer has thought up some great idea, written an app, and then had it go nowhere, but I'm ok with that.
My idea is along the lines of a life list or things I'd like to do. I'm sure they already exist, and 43things is a website that does this very thing, but perhaps I could add my own spin to the idea.

Charles BabbageMay 1, 2008

I remember doing a high school project on Charles Babbage, so I was curious to follow
this link today, which shows his completed
difference engine design in operation. Pretty impressive.
Google SketchUpApril 26, 2008
I downloaded and played with
Google SketchUp today. What a fantastic, easy to use tool. The UI designers have done a marvelous job dreaming up how an easy to use 3D tool should work.
It would be fun to make a model of our house and to put that into Google Earth... it would also be interesting to time how long it takes from start to finish: Learning the basics of SketchUp, creating the model, and then getting into into Google Earth. I wonder if you could do it in 10 hours?
