Using R44 And A PowerBook To Bust Illegal Seawalls

Sylvestre writes "Ken Adelman, founder of TGV and Network Alchemy, is using a digital camera, helicopter, and a Power Book to take a high resolution photograph every 500 feet down the California coast. The goal? Busting people putting up illegal sea walls. The catch so far? One golf course covered the beach with boulders. Also of note: the website has 44 gigs of photos so far, runs on solar power, and is Microsoft Free. Best use of technology I've seen all month!"

I'm assuming any golf course that has "field of boulders" as a hazard is pretty damn hardcore.

When asked why they go through the trouble of reclaiming the sea, the Dutch are said to answer: "We had two choices for expansion: invade Germany or reclaim land from the sea. We took one look at the Germans and decided taking on the sea was much easier" or words to that effect.
