About me & talk at Google I/O

Using KML Tours and <gx:AnimatedUpdate>
to morph & animate polygons (kml coming soon)


My first post cut right to the chase, looking at time-animated thematic maps. So here's a little background on what I'm doing here: unchartable.com is a blog about bending, breaking and hacking KML to make amazing maps for Google Earth and Maps.

I'm at Google I/O right now, about to give a talk with Mano Marks: High Peformance KML for Google Earth/Maps. I'll post the YouTube video of the talk when it comes out tomorrow.
