I like maps
(and I have a large collection of road maps I've collected over the years),
but I really like maps that are unusual or that have a unique projection,
like the Dymaxion map
(which can be folded up into an icosahedron)
or the Upside Down World Map where north is at the bottom
(north at the top appears to be a Western convention; maps of Japan by the Japanese tend to put east at the top,
because that's where the sun rises).
But this linear map of Lake Michigan
(link via Jason Kottke)
is something I've never seen before.
It's also continuous in that you can wrap the top edge to the bottom edge.
Very neat.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
