DeepEarth Is Incredible

Go here. I’ll wait.

You back?

Now tell me again how uncool all that Microsoft stuff is. Seriously.

DeepEarth is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a long time. I blogged about it on Channel 10 and one of the commenters pointed me to http://silverlight.idvsolutions.com which shows off DeepEarth in even a more incredible fashion than the original link I had posted.

DeepEarth came into existence thanks to an open source community effort that was meant to be a learning experience for the participants as to how to use the DeepZoom feature in Silverlight. Combine that with Virtual Earth and it’s pretty much insane.
