Hey everyone, this is the link to my google map for class. 

larry's ideas I posted b/c I can not be in class

I thought the A Brief History of an Idea was very easy to read. It was also very informative. I think it is valuable to learn where technology has come from to have a better idea where it is going and how to use what technology is presently available. I don’t really have much that is profound to say about the article.

The reading from Personal Geography was interesting. I understood what he was saying. A map is not just a two dimensional piece of paper that shows the lay of the land. It can be an organic three or four dimensional thing. A scan of something like a cell, the universe or DNA is 3D but I guess it grows or something maybe during the scan. A person doing the scan also learns more and gets new memories or knowledge. (which I guess would be the 4 dimensionality) So anyway this was a fun read. I got something out of it. That something is just hard to nail down.

My idea for the map project is to make a giant chainsaw in the forest. I am going to use one of those GPS things to “draw” a giant chainsaw in the woods. I will somehow walk out the shape of the chainsaw and record my course with the GPS. I will take a picture at every dot because the chainsaw will be kind of like a continuous line connect the dot thing. I will somehow have to get some land marks (which may be tough since all the trees look about the same from space).

If this is not a good idea I have always been interested in the art collective Object Orange. http://www.woostercollective.com/2006/12/detroits_object_orange.html
I might map out their projects or something.

I have also always been interested in the Pruit Igoe Projects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruitt-Igoe
I would like to do something with them. I cant physically go to where the used to be but ???

Hey guys... I found a cool website I thought that I would share:

http://www.20x200.com/

SO i've been reading Ritchin's After Photography

and he mentioned this site in the book: strictlynophotography.com. A site dedicated to hosting photos that people took where they were specifically told not to take photos...

Here is a guy who found the Alphabet in Google Maps.

Hey guys. Here are three photographers' websites that I really like. Check 'em out...


These two are very simple and easy to navigate:

This one is also very easy to navigate. However, it's a little fancier and uses Flash:

WWF - Earth Hour

Earth Hour is upon us... at 8.30pm local time around the world millions of people are turning off their lights for 1 hour.

This is not so much about saving energy. It is more a massive, global and overwhelming signal to our nations' leaders to say that climate change is important. That it matters a great deal. That we care. Now do something about it!

Dymaxion map

Hello everyone,

I have something to share with you. I went to Chicago this spring break and had the chance to visit the Buckminster Fuller exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago. I did not know about this architect (designer, philosopher, thinker, visionary, inventor, engineer, mathematician, poet, cosmologist, and more), and was impressed by his work and, above all, his ideas.

Mr. Fuller, sometime around 1954, after working on the world map for one decade, he came out with a map named The Dymaxion Map. Thsi is known to be "the only flat map of the entire surface of the earth that reveals our planet as it really is an island in one ocean without any visible distortion of the relative shapes and sizes of the land areas, and without splitting any continents".
