Some notes on items that probably don’t warrant their own blog entry but are still worth noting:

The Bostonist compares Microsoft’s Live Local with Google Earth and finds that LiveLocal comes out on top, at least from a Boston perspective with regards to the oblique imagery available in both geographic viewers. It seems to help to have images of the Boston Red Sox playing in Fenway Park (no indication if they were winning).

South Korea is creating its own national atlas by the end of 2007. A short article on the project seems to indicate that having a national atlas is indicative of reaching the club of developed nations.
