Google Project Glass
I love the concept of augmented reality, because real-time, relevant data is super useful, but seriously, in the future everyone will be either walking into lamp-posts or talking to themselves.
Hey there!
My name is Tiffany and I'm an information designer. I’m also a cat lover, coffee drinker, gamer, bookworm, avid hiker, classic rock listener and most of all a big geek. Welcome to my little place on the Interwebs where I can be random.

Google Maps Verifies that one does not simply Walk into Mordor
Here’s a fun little Google Easter egg for you. Head over to Google Maps, then get some directions. Start from The Shire, then put the destination as Mordor. Make sure that you select Walking directions.
Can you tell I’m all about Tolkien this morning?

I am in complete awe of the Art Project by Google. It’s basically a cross over between Google Maps and classic paintings. You can zoom right in to see every single brush stroke, every blob… it’s wonderous! A highlight has to be Starry Night by Van Gogh. Check them out!
This is an amazing project by Jon Rafman, who hunts through Google Street View to find pictures of artistic worth. His Tumblr blog is a homage to moments secretly caught on camera, and is a blog everyone should follow. Truly inspiring!
