Google just released Sketchup, the so-easy-your-grandmother-could-use-it-
and-make-sweet-stuff-with-it 3-d modeling program, free for everyone to use (originally $500.) Co-released is the 3D Warehouse, a website where users are encouraged to upload their models to a searchable database that anyone can then download into Sketchup or, if georeferenced (which anyone can do using Sketchup), in Google Earth. This totally beats model airplanes!
