Not only did the latest version of Google Earth add Sky —it also quietly got a fabulous new flight simulator which flies a virtual airplane (either an F16 "Viper" or SR22 prop plane) from an airport and runway of your choice. To switch into flight simulator mode the first time, launch the latest version 4.2 of Google Earth (free download) and hit Ctrl+Alt+A (Mac users: Cmd+Opt+A.) Choose your plane, airport and runway and go! Well, ok, it's not quite that easy. Blogger Marco Gallotta explains how to take off:

When Buildings Come Alive: 10 Unreal Urban Projection Videos
When Buildings Come Alive: 10 Unreal Urban Projection Mapping Videos A new form of urban art is popping up in cities throughout the world. Urban Projection Mapping , as it is loosely known, is the art of creating video displays that make buildings come alive in light, color and motion. Armed with powerful technology, a handful of enterprising video artists create vivid, visually arresting video displays that are projected on urban architecture. These videos tell stories, form abstract imagery and in some cases, sell products. To celebrate this new form of urban art, here are 10 of the best urban projection mapping videos by some of the world’s best artists.
Viral videos are ubiquitous – they have spread into both mainstream pop culture and corporate America.

iPad Cam-Case by Chet Rosales
My iPad Has A Camera Ha, I’m one up on you iPad users and I don’t even own an iPad for that matter! But if I were to buy one I’d team mine up with the iPad Cam-Case , because it makes up for the loss of a camera on the pad! What makes the concept super-awesome is that the camera can be rotated to capture your face when video-chatting. The camera is located in the corner which works well for landscape or portrait viewing and the rubber-plastic case provides a better grip when handling the device.
The Royal de Luxe‘s Sea Odyssey Giant Spectacular that took place at the weekend in Liverpool to commemorate the Titanic centenary seems to have been a roaring success, with a huge turnout and press coverage. There are a great many photos and videos online now (including at Flickr), so I’ll only mention a few that interested me [...] For a long time Royal de Luxe had no website, then a very rudimentary one.

In the year since the Museum of Art and Design reopened in its new digs on Columbus Circle, they've been delivering consistently compelling shows--from punk-rock lace to radical knitting experiments. The newest, "Slash: Paper Under the Knife" , opened last weekend and runs through April 4, 2010. The focus is paper--and the way contemporary artists have used paper itself as a medium, whether by cutting, tearing, burning, or shredding. In all, the show features 50 artists and a dozen installations made just for the show, including Andreas Kocks's Paperwork #701G (in the Beginning) , seen above. Here's a sampling of the other works on display:
