Google Earth Weather – Global Clouds Animation

Well, it took a little while to find, but Barnabu has a live cloud layer, offered as a KML, which they then half the resolution from, and put into a time lapse system which shows the last 10 days, which you can then play through.

Very nice implementation of something I’ve so far only managed to find in Earth Browser which used to be programmed in Quicktime and is now made using Adobe Air.

Is the UK coming to its senses?

James Hall, head of the British Identity and Passport Service has come out and condemned centralised databases and expressed doubt at the ability of the government to adequately secure your personal data. The conservatives are allready suggesting keeping the data in seperate databases. This is a much, much better solution, as each acces to each database can be controlled, meaning there is less potential for misuse as well as less chance of all your data being compromised in one time.
