The fire was in the land bordered in red. I only went to the side along the bottom so I'm not sure how far it extended "around the corner". There is a scout hut at the end of the wedge where some of the firemen were hanging around, and it did't seem to have gone into the bush to the right. There's a small creek (probably dry) there, that may have just formed enough of a break.

As well as Flickr, notes and other stuff added directly by the user, geobloggers also trawls the API of del.icio.us and upcoming. Quietly adding that information to it's database. And because it's in the geobloggers database at can be viewed via the geobloggers main site, or queried via the API and feeds.
The locations are geocoded from just the zipcode. So you can use geobloggers to find events near you or in a specific area, just not the exact location.
Here's the Google Earth network link that'll find newest Upcoming Events...
Google Earth Upcoming
(Nearest coming soon)
Geocoding from street number, name and zipcode is too API intensive at the moment, i.e. I'd have to depend on another service from another website and geobloggers is already a web of service consumption, aggregating and feeds.

Here's a great collection of tools, projects and Flickr toys via the Flickr blog - the latest one really looks fun. Mediamatic held another in their series of Flickr event in Amsterdam on September 19th. Called Playing Flickr v2.0, the event was held in the city's Post CS building and involved attendees SMSing tags to a server which then displayed photos matching those tags on a series of giant screens. Flickr user slabbers grabbed the shot at right of one of his own photos appearing on screen. Link.Sent from NewsGator Online.

1900 Galveston hurricane Track
GISuser.com posted a photo:
This map shows the path of the un-named hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas in 1900. It made landfall as a category 4 hurricane and was the most destructive hurricane ever in North America. Currently, Rita has measured as the 3rd stringest recorded hurricane on record and is following a very similar path. This map was derived from the NOAA historical hurricane track IMS found at hurricane.csc.noaa.gov/hurricanes/ - created and posted by www.GISuser.com

Rita and Google Earth overlays
DIY Weather channel - Ivo Janssen writes "I was browsing the Hurricane Rita path on the NOAA website, and then realized that Google Earth does image overlays. So I turned NOAA's boring picture into fascinating 3D views of the hurricane path. Currently, it's slated to miss Austin, make landfall at Matagorda Bay, take US-77 to Temple and Waco and then go on over Forth Worth". Link.Sent from NewsGator Online.

Your Fortune Is |
 |
| Your Birthdate: August 29 |
 Your birthday on the 29th adds a tone of idealism to your nature. You are imaginative and creative, but rather uncomfortable in the business world. You are very aware and sensitive, with outstanding intuitive skills and analytical abilities. The 29 reduces to 11, one of the master numbers which often produces much nervous tension. This is the birthday of the dreamer rather than the doer. You do, however, work very well with people. |

61,344 geotagged images (map61344)
Catt Family posted a photo:
This is all the geotagged photos as of last night.
If you go over here...
www.geobloggers.com/growth/
...you'll see a bunch of images showing the growth for each new 1,000 images, that's once every 2 days.
Because it saves the files a jpg and then writes the next 1,000 over the top, the first few are getting pretty crudded up by the repeated jpg compression.
When we reach 100,000 I'll make a lossless .png. I'll probably also do USA, UK and Europe ones.
What do we learn? Well outside of USA and Europe people like to take photos at the coast.

The Sony Librie is a stunning e-ink ebook reading device with the most print-like book reading experience you can have at this time (the display moves microscopic black and white particles held within spherical microcapsules). For the most part, it hasn't been a success in the market, Sony crippled it with DRM, and only released in it Japan. But the hackers and tinkerers of the world have taken this device, modded the firmware and now we're going to show you how to make non-DRMed ebooks for free.
