I do some occassional freelance consulting work for a few select government agencies that have people stashed away here and there in cramped, dark basement offices who like to think out of the box.
And when I say "think out of the box", I'm not referring to the normal corporatespeak horseshit of thinking out of the box where Jonathan, who's always wearing the stupid art print ties that really do little to change anyone's perception of him as ass-kissing douchebag who just happens to wear a lot of art print ties, bangs his first on the table and says "let's take tax advantages of a write-down domestically, sell the banned product to developing nations under a multi-layered interlocking system of shell companies, have the cash take a ski trip to the Alps - I think you all know what I mean - and when they finish they're vacation, voila, they're assets on the balance sheet of our subprime mortgage arm." No. That's friggin' kids stuff.
On our skunkworks projects, we use REAL out of the box thinking to solve organizational problems by using a variation of Dali's Paranoid Critical Method where the problem solver intentionally wills himself into a temporary psychotic state in order to approach a mundane problem or set of facts in a radically different way.
This is an example of one of our recent breakthroughs combining perceptual mapping with the Paranoid Critical Method to solve the DOD's problems with declining enlistment and retention levels. It's code name is Operation Freedom Boner.

The tragic part is that you can take a serious real-world approach to lay out some of the lies and misinformation that the Bush Administration used to get us into Iraq or maybe even lay out the Republicans smear strategies again Obama in the upcoming campaign.
But that wouldn't be funny. It would be reality.
Dali on the Paranoid Critical Method:
"Paranoiac-critical activity organizes and objectivizes in an exclusivist manner the limitless and unknown possibilities of the systematic association of subjective and objective 'significance' in the irrational...it makes the world of delirium pass onto the plane of reality"

Auburn University forestry researcher John Gilbert recently created an instructional booklet, “Mapping Your Land: An Overview for Landowners,” to help landowners use five online mapping program. It allows landowners to utilize maps, aerial photography, topographic layers, soils information, data collected with GPS units and even a visual simulation, such as adding images of trees on open fields.
This feature will integrate mapping functionality into OpenPublic, a Drupal distribution that's built specifically for the government. openpublicapp.com/

Definitions of mapping on the Web:
- the study of the position of genes on chromosomes.
- the process of making one image conform to the size, shape, and/or texture of another image. See also Bump mapping, Displacement mapping, and Environment mapping.

In our synthesis, we have concentrated on finding the place for each activity in the Park where it is possible to let the surrounding nature dominate over the activity. In the establishment phase, many priorities have to be made, due to a lack of funding.
When establishing an activity, it is critical to measure the correct size against other activities, even those planned to come in a later phase. Also, it is in line with the total concept of the Entoto Natural Park to profile the activities from the very beginning.
Every activity should be of high quality. For example, creating a wedding park does not mean that it should be in the style of other wedding parks in Addis Ababa.
A bird eye's perspective of the park (Annex 1) illustrates our suggestions for the location of the activities, that were agreed upon at the Park Committee meetings.
The spatial distribution is a result of the analysis of criteria for location and from the synthesis.
Description of Main Attraction Points
Data on the existing attraction points, which we had asked about, were collected by Napoleon Tsegaye in October 1994, who kindly made an interview in Amharic with his grandfather,
Ato Gebre Kidane Wibishet, native to the area.
Geographical Situation
Addis Ababa is situated 9° north of the equator, in central Ethiopia. The park area, on the mountain of Entoto, extends from the northern edge of the city, at an altitude of 2 600m and further north over the mountain crest at almost 3 100 m.
From several spots, there is splendid outlook over the sprawling city and the five high solitary mountains, in the southwest to the southeast (Menagesha, Wachecha, Furi Zukuala and Yerer).
Facing north from the top ridge, one looks out over vast plains, towards Sululta and some bare mountains. The mountain ridge on which the Park is located constitutes a big water divider.
The northern slope drains into the Blue Nile, and the precipitation from the southern slope will end up in the Awash river.
This has the curious result that two raindrops falling at the same time just a few centimetres apart, will have quite different destinies: one will after a long journey reach the Mediterranean Sea, whereas the other will pass through the city of Addis Ababa, eventually evaporating in the Danakil Desert, as the Awash River never reaches the sea (Håkan Blanck and Pia Englund, Entoto Natural Park 1995).
(The map shows central Ethiopia and is a historical drawing).

Inspired by Burak's networking workshop, we conducted some short pen & paper mapping exercise today. Some great ideas in there...
