Soledad Collazo I totally agree with Tom Butler.

Michael Panagako Amazing how much more dangerous the North End is than the northern and eastern parts of Dorchester!
maryr Well, danger is relative. Are the North End and Dorchester subject to the same kinds of crimes?
Michael Panagako The bad parts of Dorchester are BAD, the good parts are very safe. I like how this map breaks it out into chunks - it really shows that dichotomy.

Paul Espinosa Most of the subjects of the thematic maps you pin are pretty obvious. This is less so. Land mass? That's what it appears to me. But it would be interesting to know the algorithm and number of iterations to ultimately get to the final circles. Also, what the purpose of the map was, or was it just to take it the extreme. I guess I'd like to see the write-up of this (if there was one) instead of just the flickr image, much like on the Cab Spots map.

Awesome, Steve Coast builds opengeocoder.net "What if you threw all that away and just linked the string “london” to a bounding box? Thus opengeocoder. In previews the number one thing asked for was synonym support. That is, “AK” should spit out the same box as “Alaska” without having to add both strings and two bounding boxes. So, you can do that. There is an API which spits out JSON so you can hook your map project up to it."

New York's Museum of Modern Art invited five teams of architects, planners, ecologists, engineers, landscape designers, and other specialists in the urban and suburban condition to develop proposals for housing that would open new routes through the mortgage-foreclosure crisis that continues to afflict the United States. Their focus was not the inner city, but rather the suburbs, which are often passed over in the push of development toward an ever-more-distant periphery. / via jen

Neil Freeman: "This is one of nineteen trillion simple maps of the United States. This page will show a different map the next time loaded. A well-known theorem proves that with only four colors, any simple map of can be drawn so that no color touches itself. The next step is to ask how many ways there are to accomplish this simple task. For the contiguous United States, there are over nineteen trillion different maps that use only four colors. Even the tightest constraints can yield near-infinite variety."
