If high energy prices have convinced you that solar energy might be the ticket to cheaper bills, head to web site RoofRay to determine the solar potential of your roof. As you can see from the video demo, the web site lets you draw the area you're interested in adding solar panels to on a Google Maps mashup, determining everything from surface area to slope.

BBC recently posted a video titled “Britain seen from the skies above” and while it was fascinating simply to watch, to think about it really gave us a new perspective on privacy. It’s a real short clip, about a minute, so take a look and you’ll see what we mean: Everybody is concerned about privacy online yet not many pay attention to privacy elsewhere.
