My name is Ron Hall.
I live at the Funny Farm.
Had a fun day as the Google Geek yesterday. Got my Ruby scripts going in SketchUp. Took a bit to figure out documentation from forum (also had some problems registering). Turns out major deal is to "unzip" files correctly, and place in proper "directory".
Then had an afternoon meeting with a couple individuals from History Link - an online resource on Washington State history. Demoed some of the capabilities of Google Earth and SketchUp. They are looking to do more with their content along the lines of curriculum development for local schools and universities. Something Jeff Jarvis talks about in his book. Both people were very computer/internet aware.
Discussed the possiblity of going after a federal grant - in area of historic preservation technology. Idea would be to use SketchUp/Google Earth to develop a pilot program that models a local Washington historic district. Models would be posted to 3D Warehouse with appropriate logo links. Would also do a custom piece of kml content in Google Earth Gallery for educational purposes. They could be used for a wide variety of purposes - planning. tourism, education.
Got to go. Make it a good day.
