Mike taps Sketchup to answer Google.org's call for animated models of the drilling and harvesting of geothermal energy.  Starting with just the geographic coordinates and .pdf files of the drilling rig, he outlines their transformation into a 3D model uploaded to Google Earth.  To be fair, he also used some voodoo.
