Google Mars

By Chad Butler Leave a Comment

In the spirit of Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Moon, the next frontier for Google maps junkies has been released – Google Mars.

Using maps from images taken by NASA’s orbiting Mars Odyssey and Mars Global Surveyor, Google provides users images of the Martian surface. View mountains, craters, dunes, ridges, canyons, and plains… all by name. You can also view the location of various spacecraft that have explored Mars.

It works just like Google Maps, you can zoom in, drag from side to side, and pinpoint locations. ï¿½ You can view by elevation, by infrared, or by the straight image.

Hopefully, Google will follow through with plans to add the images to Google Earth, which would allow you to tilt and pan the image. ï¿½ Until then, enjoy the browser based version here – it’s pretty cool.

Verse-O-Matic 3.1.0 Released

By Chad Butler Leave a Comment

Well, the Verse-O-Matic upgrade was released. If you are upgrading from 3.0.0, you will need to download the special upgrade (indicated on the Verse-O-Matic page). Everyone else (new installs and upgrades from versions previous to 3.0.0) can download the regular package.

Some major new features in this release include the ability to toggle the way it displays. You can go with random each page load (the original), random by day, set what will display each day (verse of the day), and set a static verse to display until you change it.

Get it here.
