Two Quick Earthly Diversions

Here are two quick video links that I found while browsing my RSS feeds this morning. Oddly enough, both are hosted on Vimeo.com, but I found them linked from different sources.

First is the video “Where the Hell is Matt?” found link in an article on BoingBoing.net. Matt is a 31 year old slacker who spends any money he scrapes together traveling around the world. Not a bad existence, actually. He decided to video himself doing a silly little dance in every country, and the following is the result…

The other video I found on Frank Taylor’s (no relation) Google Earth Blog. This is a demonstration of a “holographic” touch interface for Google Earth that looks exceedingly cool. Rather than being 3D or a true hologram, it’s actually a 2D projection, but it still looks great.
