I've been thiking that it would be fun to do a non-commercial thing like 
this with open data, open apps.., maybe without prizes, just whuffy. 
Maybe an open Tricorder Challenge,to see who can create the most deeply 
and interestingly  hyper annotated, and vector layered rendition of a  
_place_ - any place. using open data, and open source apps..We could 
pick a date, Say, September 5, 2005, and do the whole thing online from 
the US, Europe, Asia, wherever...
