Street Views Of Rochester
A few days ago I noticed Google added Rochester to Street Views. Surprisingly It’s one of the larger areas that they’ve covered and is very detailed. They even covered parts of Wayne county including my parents house.
While looking at the streets they covered around where I work I found this little gem (pictured below). Apparently their GPS is a little off sometimes.

1 commentWhat the Font?
If you’ve ever seen a logo and wanted to know the font What the Font is here to save your day. It’s not something that happens often but occasionally you’ll see one and want to use the same styling and it’s a pain to find. With What the Font It’s a simple 3 step process.
- Upload (From Disk or URL) an image containing the font you wish to identify.
- What the Font will identify the letters in the image and attempt to guess what letters they are.
- If any are incorrect (or in some cases not a letter) you simply need correct them and click Search.
That’s it!
You’ll get a list of matching fonts which you can click on to get more details including:
- Font Samples (at many sizes)
- Character Mini-Map
- List of Available Versions
- Option to Buy (in some cases)

No commentsYour Tweets
Ever wanted to know your Twitter trends? Well now you can generate a cloud of all your tweets using Tweet Clouds. My Cloud is below. Clearly I need to stop replying to @npike so much.
Now that you know the words you use most frequently, wouldn’t it be nice to know how you used them? That’s where Tweet Scan comes in handy. In fact the tag cloud Tweet Cloud gets you has links but they go nowhere (every one just links to #, I’m not sure what that’s useful for…). This following is the Tweet Scan search results for Rochester for my username only.

I’ve often thought of ways I could use text messaging to interact with different web applications. One specific tool I still wish to write is a way to add notes to Google Notebook via Text Message. One part I’ve always struggled with is how to use text messages rather than e-mail to and from the phone. TextMarks makes this perfectly easy. Adding Text Messaging to a system is just about as easy as possible with TextMarks.
