Three posts bundled as one about various things Google Maps API, including: an API plugin for Dreamweaver [no JavaScript required], one-minute mashups by Google, and the datum and projection used by Google.
As posted earlier, we're teaching a hands-on workshop on Google mashups during UW-Milwaukee's GIS Day. We'll also be working with grad students before and after the workshop. All of the materials used before, during, and after the workshop [lectures, powerpoints, demonstrations, etc.] will be available online.

collective machinery is a website dedicated to exploring and facilitating collaborative multimedia, internet-based, and locative production. Toward that end, our site is an open "forum" (wiki-powered). Anyone can add pages, edit existing content, and ask questions.
