Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

Great idea -- we already store Street View imagery so what you see today should be available even when new imagery is collected in the future blog.google/products/map...
Go back in time with Street View
Travel to the past to see how a place has changed over the years by exploring Street View imagery.

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like “an entire bicycle”

They say my novels are surreal. But when I watch Elon Musk playing the jester in Donald Trump’s court, I’m not so sure. His latest novel is “Absolution.”
