Hello! Thanks for dropping by. Its great to see you. This is a personal blog of Benson John, a 29 year old interior designer / photographer / 3D visualizer / music & movie lover living in Melbourne, Australia. This blog is a personal and growing archive of links, rambles, rants, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and random musings - as well as an array of projects I have worked, or am working, on. It is also a place to gather some of the author's assorted web activities, like photos, links and music. You may want to subscribe to Morph8's RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Australia becomes the third country in the world, following US and France to have its city streets mapped into the giant G’s belly. Google Street View lets a user take an online virtual tour of streets and landscapes from their computer screens by viewing a digitally stitched interactive database of a bazillion snapshots. The photos aren’t quite up-to-date obviously (my house shots seem about 10 months old).

A fantastic feature is the ability to embed Street View images to your own website, making this a truly awesome tool for property agents and other businesses to showcase their locations. Together with Google Maps, it becomes even more easy to locate addresses by previewing the destination before departing. The possibilities are endless.

Here’s my workplace,

Oh yeah, and thats another reason to waste hours virtually driving all around the country.
