Today I went with my team to a half day presentation at the Google Enterprise Geospatial Summit 2011 because the company I work for uses their applications.
Geospatial refers to the Google Earth and mapping and all its features.
Most people would be aware of and use the public face of Google, but there is actually a business side to the company called Enterprise.
It was actually a very interesting 4 hours enhanced with some lubrication.
There were presentations by the Google Earth founder himself Brian McClendon, and some high level Google Product and Development executives.
I won't bore you with too much detail in case you don't normally get excited by this stuff.
Brian McClendon was a founder and inventor at Keyhole, a start up company purchased by Google in 2004.The geospatial data visualization tool developed by Keyhole later came to be known as Google Earth.
He made his childhood home of Lawrence, Kansas the default center point of early releases of Google Earth.
The Google people spoke about some of their ideas and developments, but if I told you, I would have to kill you. In fact they can touch on some topics, then back off and say they can't comment.
The advantage of mapping is people easily visualise concepts and information, rather than reading lists of information where they nod off.
Some examples brought to demonstrate were . . . . well, rather interesting, such as -
NY Times HOMICIDE map.
Here the number of homicides is mapped, and you can filter on weapons, gender, age, ethnicity etc. You get the idea. If you are looking at buying an apartment in Brooklyn, this site is a must see.
You will love THIS one.
Flush Tracker is a map of the local sewer system and reveals information like speed and distance for a flush to travel. Local Flushes are shown on the map and then the path of flow is drawn on the map... very clever and no doubt useful to the local sewer authority.
When I opened the site, I was watching a "deposit" travel alongside a road in Germany.
Japan quake PERSON-FINDER
Efforts to bring missing persons and friends and relatives together.
CRISIS RESPONSE grew out of an idea following the Haiti earthquake. Many government departments had collected information about different aspects of the quake aftermath, but weren't sharing it, resulting in a flawed recovery outcome.
Google Crisis Response makes critical information more accessible around natural disasters and humanitarian crises such as hurricanes and earthquakes. This initiative is a project of Google.org, which uses Google's strengths in information and technology to build products and advocate for policies that address global challenges.
They have responded to Australian floods, Australian cyclone Yasi, Christchurch quake and Japanese quake, to name a few.
Enough already. I hope that this gives you a better idea of what Google is involved in besides your Google search page.
Sorry, it is a bit long TODAY

Beginning in the Whittaker Creek Campground, the steep Old Growth Ridge Trail ascends 750 vertical feet over a mile’s length, topping out at a peekaboo viewpoint over the Siuslaw River. Benches and interpretive panels along the way allow a moment to catch one’s breath. A short spur trail descends slightly to a lightning-struck Douglas Fir tree. The unique site and setting of the Old Growth Ridge Trail and its newer Armantrout Loop segment make it nationally significant, earning it National Recreation Trail status.
Know Before You Go:
• The trailhead is located between campsites 23 and 24 on the opposite side of the campground loop road.
• Visitors can park in the campground day use parking areas. During the winter when the park is closed to access, they can park near the entrance or in the boating area opposite the campground on the river. Please do not block the gate and use caution if parking along the major haul road.
• Trail boardwalks can be very slick when wet; use caution when traversing them.
• The day use area and 31-site campground are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. This is a first-come, first served campground opportunity.
Point of Interest: On the return from the top, take the Armantrout Loop Trail at Alden Glen trail junction. This 1.4-mile alternative has eight switchbacks to maintain a gentle grade on your way back to the trailhead.
Latitude / Longitude: 43.98635, -123.6633
Directions from Eugene, Oregon -- Travel west on Highway 126 through the forested foothills of the Coast Range. Turn left on Siuslaw Road (about 40 miles). Travel three miles watch for signs to the campground located on your right.
Fee: There is no fee for day-use. Camping is $10 per site and $5 for each extra vehicle.

As most of the pre-1980 Mount St. Helens terrain elevation does not exist in the form of a DEM, or Digital Elevation Model, I am having to recreate that DEM myself using geospatial data processing software. For the last few days I have been immersing myself into the workings of QGis - an open source geospatial data processing application very similar to the ArcGIS software professional mapping agencies and the USGS use, to create and author DEM and other forms of geospatial data. Yesterday, I began a series of tests on working with ESRI Shapefile data and creating test contour maps, then importing them in another open source geospatial data processing application known as SAGA. It is here, where I applied the elevation data in a TIN (triangulated interface network) format to create and compile a 3D model of those test contour maps.
As a test of those learned skills, earlier this afternoon I decided to trace contours in a small area going up from Spirit Lake's pre-eruption elevation contour of 3,198 feet. For reference, today's lake elevation is 3,406 feet! The small area I chose was the dividing ridge between the east and west lobes of Spirit Lake. Once I selected the area in question, I then proceeded to trace every contour on one gridded section of that ridge in a 1958 topographic map, using a vector layer, with each contour assigned an elevation point corresponding to the 80-foot contour interval of the source reference map. (It was a PAIN IN THE ARSE to do this, since I had to convert the numbers in feet, to meters every time!).
After tracing the final contour in QGis, I then exported it as an ESRI Shapefile, then imported it into SAGA, to which I then did a triangulating extrapolation of that contour data into a working digital elevation model. That elevation model's dataset was then loaded back into QGis as a DEM file, and subsequently exported as a GeoTIFF.
Once a brief test was initiated in FSX, I was ASTOUNDED at the height difference between present-day Spirit Lake and the former shoreline. It shows up best at the lakeshore (where I had placed an exclusion flatten of the lake to eliminate scenery artifiacting) on the dividing ridge, and where Harry Truman's resort is.
Now the fun part begins... Tracing a crap-ton of contour data, then extracting it into height map data, and then finally, off to the SIM.
Now for a few images showing the sequence of steps I followed, then a series of screenshots in FSX showing the change in topography.

Wilfried Houjebek wrote a geospatial algorithm in the “Brainfuck” programming language. After initialisation by a random coin toss the algorithm sends the user on a algorithmic tour. For historic reasons Wilfried chose the Royal Observatory as the starting point. From here our group was sent on a spiraling course towards Point Hill.
During the walk electromagnetic energies were recorded with an ELF receiver.
At Point Hill we planted undeveloped film sheets for thoughtographic experiments and hid measuring devices for logging high frequency energies. Also some intuitive drawings were made to record the atmosphere.
From there we went back to the center of London to interrogate the London Stone.

===========================
A .walk into computational darkness, Tuesday the second of August 2010. [15.00-17.00] at the entrance of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park.
It is hard not to feel sympathy for Martial Bourdin, the clumsy anarchist (aren't we all?) who tried to bomb the Lon/Lat HQ of the English Empire in 1894 (i.e. the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park) and who is forever ridiculed in Joseph Conrad's novel The Secret Agent.
(Wikipedia writes about Joseph Conrad [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad] that despite the complexity of his novels, Conrad in his private life was predominantly conservative. Who could have ever thought.)
The bomb in question exploded near target in Bourdin's face. He died 30 minutes later without mentioning his name. It is presumed that he was planning to destroy the clock ticking to centralized time. A just cause as time, which obviously does not exist, is a deadening tool of artificial concensus reality.
The Royal Observatory is also where, between 1765 to 1925, the Nautical Almanac Office employed scores of human computers to compile and calculate tables of astronomical data. In of those tables, the 'Nautical Ephemeris for Finding Latitude and Longitude at Sea' Charles Babbage found over a thousand errors. The invention of the mechanical computer, Babbage's Difference Engine, was inspired by the desire to diminish the number of ships wrecked at sea caused by faulty data.
The Royal Observatory is also where the London Psychogeographic Association went looking for ley-lines but of course ley-lines are just pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo that nobody needs. Say no to the tantric fellow travellers! Say no to the psychogeographers of yore!
The Dark Heart of Codeness / a pedestrian code experiment starting from the Observatory / human computers will run walking codelets / a "stillness of an implacable force brooding over an inscrutable intention" (Conrad) will haunt the .walkers at every step untill they will succumb crying in a whisper at some image, at some vision "a cry that was no more than a breath: "The horror! The horror!""
