Short news: SketchUp to Google Spreadsheets, anyone?

• Make: begins delivering SketchUp models alongside some of its Maker project podcasts. (Make has already been attaching PDF plans to its shows for a year now.) Great idea. There is no reason why travel podcasts shouldn't attach KMZ files to their shows.
• Over on SketchUp Pro forums, Ruby programmer "IDEVFH" has been playing with integrating Google Spreadsheets with Google SketchUp, so that you could, for example, connect a bill of materials to your SketchUp model and have it update as you refine your model. He wants to know if this is of interest to anyone.
• Gerardo64 has step-by-step instructions on how to turn any RSS feed (that contains datelines or placenames) into a KML network link, using Geonames's RSS-to-GeoRSS converter.
• Matt Perry looks at GDAL/OGR, a command-line tool for PC and Linux that will soon be able to convert Shapefiles into KML. (Link to GDAL/OGR homepage)
• Greenpeace puts its Bering Sea ship tour onto Google Earth (KML link).
