Ok, I'm just not suprised any more, I'm excited, just not suprised. Google has release a new 3D modeling program callled Google Sketch Up, for a novice like me, I'll check it out, I can think of some good uses for it. The program claims to let you model anything (simple) even your house, and add it to google earth. Crazy, amazing.
