The last few weeks i have had the pleasure of reading a +thought-provoking collection of essays by Cory Doctorow, on topics +touching copyright, virtual worlds, the future of man when the +conscience mind can be duplicated into a computer and many more. The +book titled "Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, +Copyright, and the Future of the Future" is available with few +restrictions on the web, for example from +his own site. I read the +epub-version from +feedbooks using +fbreader and my N810. I +strongly recommend this book.
+ +Thanks to +todays +opengeodata blog entry, I just discovered that the +OpenStreetmap.org site have gotten +support +for calculating routes. The support is still experimental and +only available from the development server, until more experience is +gathered on the user interface and any scalability issues.
+ +Earlier, the routing I knew about using the OpenStreetmap.org data +was provided by Cloudmade, +but having it on the main page is required to make everyone aware of +the issue. I've had people reject Openstreetmap.org as a viable +alternative for them because the front page lacked routing support, +and I hope their needs will be catered for when routing show up on the +www.openstreetmap.org front page.
