Google Goes 3D with SketchUp

Today, I was just looking for online image editing tools and found Google SketchUp. In my view, Google has done it again. Google SketchUp, which is free for personal use, includes simple tools for creating 3D models of a variety of items, including houses, decks and woodworking projects.It will be very useful tools for Building Architecture.
The software comes with a plug-in for Google Earth, so that 3D items created with SketchUp are picked-up by the service that typically provides satellite views of geographical locations. In addition, Google has also released 3D Warehouse, which is the online storage for work created in SketchUp. The service enables users to search and share 3D models.
Want to build a Taj Mahal, Load the Sketch from Google and make it yourself.

The Voice of Voiceless

Yesterday, I read an article in The Hindu, about former President K.R.Narayanan. It was an interesting article, about the Statement’s reminiscence of his childhood days. It was an unfolding story of a Dalit boy humiliated at every step of his journey. We have to praise his effort revolting against the deprivation and feudalism. His commitments towards - alleviation of Poverty, Education, Environment, human rights are commendable. I doubt if any Presidents ever had made such commitments to human rights and poverty alleviation as Narayanan during his tenure.
