Google released geocoding updates to the JavaScript API they provide developers today. This is huge for allowing us the ability to improve the user experience in interfaces with location data. Until now, we’ve had to rely on external sources. Tapping the Google source makes plenty sense.

I’ve been largely distracted by other things, so two of the gmap prototypes I have are stagnating and I’m missing chances to make myself famous with geo-location and microformats. Unfortunately, I don’t see our pending move improving my development opportunities. Hopefully I can find some inspiration to fit some time in for those and share something really interesting. Or I can sit and wait until someone else gets it right so I can use it.
