Dog Days

Hi everybody.

Sorry I did not post in July. Was hoping to run down Jack, or hear from somebody else, but no luck. Still slow this month, so I thought I would share a bit of news/brag.

In July I got an email from Google. They invited me and 19 other people from around the world to their Denver office for a 2 day conference in early August. This because of all the work I have been doing with SketchUp and Google Earth software (both free).

Just got back. It was a blast.



That's me in the second row. No comments on hairline. There were people from Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Spain, Argentina , Brazil, Canada. The purpose was to give Google's SketchUp/Google Earth software people feedback on their product and test drive some new things. Note: I have several "collections" of buildings , but they chose to show case Cheney.

FYI - Have done a number of other things with Google Earth - sample/article of something I am doing on the Spokane River . Google Earth and other Google products) is being used by quite a number of communities/municipal entities/not-for-profits/schools in their internal operations, communications, and educational missions.

One of the reasons for this blog/virtual reunion is that I think a number of Google offerings could be useful in the golf/turf sector.

Doug - sorry I did not drop in at Denver Country Club - just not enough time.

Make it a good day.
