Marge Goes Euro

This wonderful example of Cartozoology (the detection of living creatures in maps) is from Mickey Hulse and first posted over at Strange Maps. You can see his original map over at Google Maps and zoom in to see that Marge's eye is actually Paris, the Pyrenees are actually her distinctive red baubles around her neck, and her mouth is the Loire River.

Shoes You Can Use

Of course you have to have the shoes to go with the dress! And you will always find your way home in these fashion footware from designer, Jennifer Collier of Stafford, England.

Wear Everrrr

Working on maps and information graphics in class this week has taken me to many far off places exploring other people's wonderful maps. Is it me, or are there an explosion of new sites about maps and infographics these days? I never grow too tired of looking at new ways to display information. It has been fun seeing lots of new material from my students this week which I will display here in short order. Meanwhile, take a further look at Elizabeth LeCourt's lovely map wear here.
