Ever wonder how they did it? Take a look at this video...it's not always CGI.
Google Maps for Bicyclists?
3/10/10 12:17 pm | POSTED BY Jen Kaye
Google just came out with a version of the maps for bicycling. It knows where bike paths are, bike lanes and safer streets to ride on. Google just keeps advancing their technology more and more each day. Someday, they will have 3D maps for flying car routes, or travel tubes Futurama style. Until then, we can now ride more safely on our lovely two-wheeled vehicles. I must say, I do enjoy a nice ride on the beach in the summer.

Disney's Version of the Bellagio Fountain
2/8/10 10:59 am | POSTED BY Jen Kaye
Disney's latest attraction to open at California Adventure is the World of Color fountain show, opening in March 2010.
Similar to the Fantasmic Show at Disneyland, this show features a new medium to display graphics and animation....a super-powered water fountain. The fountain is similar to the famous one at the Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas, where it can be set to dance to music and shoots hundreds of feet into the air. Disney takes it to the next step and projects colors through the different jets of water to help "draw" the characters and animation that is projected on the sheets of water. Leave it to Disney to make a visually stunning show that turns something that is seemingly 2-D into something that is 3-D and tangible.
We have to wait until March to watch what will surely be an amazing show. I personally can't wait to see this new medium in action. Watch the video below to see exactly how the show will work.
