Every Building Everywhere
More on the high-tech descendants of Ed Ruscha's Every Building on the Sunset Strip.
Here comes Google? Jason Kottke points to the Stanford CityBlock Project, funded by Google, to build "technology for digitizing commercial city blocks from sideways-looking video taken from a vehicle driving down the street."
Plus: Use A9's photos to create an "Every Building on . . . " for your favorite street in your favorite city (as long as its one of the 10 cities photographed so far). Greg Allen points to a9: Run up and down the street. Enter the A9 YP URL of a business with a photo, and Mikal Maron's script will pull down as many photos to the left or the right of the building as it can. I haven't played with it yet, but the samples look cool.
