Google maps offers a rich api for getting a lot of information as you are probably already aware. I've written a few locators in the last couple of years involving the use of google maps and doing radial searches based on zip codes. The difficult part for me was getting the geo coordinates of the queried zip code to use as a reference point for doing the radial search. I ended up writing a nice simple class to encapsulate converting zip codes into geo-coordinates.]]> http://blog.realmofzod.com/2010/02/05/get-geo-coordinates-from-google-maps-in-php/feed/ 0 Google lays down the gauntlet with ChromeOS http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/11/20/google-lays-down-the-gauntlet-with-chromeos/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/11/20/google-lays-down-the-gauntlet-with-chromeos/#comments Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:25:27 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=171

It was the logical path for them and anyone who paid attention to the types of software they've been releasing could clearly see the writing on the wall. Every time Google made an announcement or released something new, the was the immediate response... why? Every app, framework, website, tool, they have ever released is a piece of a puzzle that when assembled shows you Google's over-arching strategy. You just have to step back a little bit to see]]> http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/11/20/google-lays-down-the-gauntlet-with-chromeos/feed/ 0 A month with Google Chrome http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/01/a-month-with-google-chrome/ http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/01/a-month-with-google-chrome/#comments Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:03:09 +0000 brandon http://blog.realmofzod.com/?p=117 http://blog.realmofzod.com/2009/09/01/a-month-with-google-chrome/feed/ 0
