[Geowanking] geo games for wherecamp sf 2011

[Jeffrey Warren]

perhaps with a theme -- at the hacker space I work from, we've been talking
about using sports field marking chalk to draw Google Maps-style icons,
lines, labels, and so forth on the real world, then balloon photograph it to
upload and stitch as overlays.

aerosol chalk comes in 12
colors<http://www.athleticfieldmarker.com/durastripe-aerosol-chalk-color-12-cans-per-case.html?___store=default>

we could break into teams, and read from a stylesheet to style our
real-world map.
