I still think Google's
coolest 20 percent project of all time is
Liquid Galaxy, you know, the "eight 55-inch LCD screens showing Google Earth in a unified, surround view" thing that Google sets up around to different conferences they are a part of. It's sort of like the Star Trek Holodeck. It's awesome. And now you can build your own -- or buy one! Google has
open-sourced the entire project, including the Ubuntu sysadmin scripts to the mechanical design of the custom frames. And they've released a new version of the public Google Earth that supports it.
