Silverlight Virtual Earth viewer on Via Virtual Earth Blog
With the launch of silverlight yesterday I was digging around and found this viewer for Virtual Earth by Greg Schechter. It does use the 1.1 alpha of silverlight. It gives some interesting ideas for where Virtual Earth could be headed. Certainly the demo of the performance of silverlight compared to javascript for processing showed a significant increase. This could be very useful.
And of course on the gamer front check this out by Andy Beaulieu and shoot down some UFO's over Birdseye images.

Philosophy
Bandwidth and software have finally reached the point where online collaboration online is as rich, or more-so, than in person. As such, they've begun building out the foundation for a new breed of distributed workplace.
Traditional workplaces try to build magic palaces, forcing everyone into one location and lifestyle. That practice is about to come to an end, and open source is leading this change. It doesn't matter how intoxicating the palace is, every coder is part artist, eccentric and ideated. Big boxes and rules about where you can live are the antipathy of a coder's passions. Our Client has a collective vision of the next generation office environment. They are building the tools to empower a rich collaborative team software development experience: always available video conferencing, VOIP, IM, presence, and virtual white boarding, all connected through smart self-managing project tools.
They live anywhere, dream anything, and code everything.
