August 5, 2009. Our local transit agency, Codiac Transit, won't release a full system map, so I'm making one, which I'll post online and print out. Here is the Google Maps version.
I know - I'm a sap. I'm still new enough to driving that this stuff is still interesting to me.
I took my first motorway journey yesterday - scary to say the least, then after a few minutes (getting into the traffic is the worst bit) very peaceful and relaxing.
The one thing I could never have predicted before learning to drive (at my advanced age!) was that I'd enjoy it so much.
Thanks to the wonderful Lorraine for coming with.
Map by Johannes van Keulen printed in the 1680s.
I sjöhistoriskas arkiv har vi vackra kartor från 1680-talet tillskrivna en inflytelserik holländsk kartograf som hette Johannes van Keulen. Han fick patent på holländska maritima atlaser av holländska staten. På den här kartan ser vi den del av Sydafrika som holländarna då kände till. Vi kan bland annat urskilja namnet ”Taffelberget”, som redan då var ett viktigt landmärke för sjöfarare.

We have worked our way up to visiting India, a vast, intimidating place for outside visitors, but also full of fascinating experiences, rich cultures, and of course, the unexpected.
One of the things I admire most about India is its utter frankness and inability to dissemble. India is what it is, all mass of humanity, colorful celebrations, crowded buses, dirty streets, polished temples, lonely beggars, spicy food, and hazy landscapes, and we are here to see it all.

This is the waterfall at VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver, BC.
I wasn't satisfied with my earlier attempts to process this image with multiple exposures because of the motion blur on the ferns, so I went back to the RAW file and used Photomatix to convert the single file to HDR and then tone-mapped it to get this result.
Từ khi được con người tìm thấy, cà phê đã là một loại cây bụi mọc hoang dã trong các khu rừng ở Ethiopia và miền nam Sudan, ngày nay các bụi cây cà phê hoang sơ vẫn được tìm thấy ở một số khu rừng của Ethiopia. Cho đến trước những năm 1970, hầu hết cà phê vẫn được trồng trong các hệ thống nông học truyền thống (bắt chước các khu rừng tự nhiên). Tuy nhiên, với sự ra đời của phân bón tổng hợp và sau đó là Cách mạng xanh để tăng sản lượng và chống lại bệnh gỉ sắt (nghi ngờ do các cây che bóng gây ra), các nhà nông học đã giới thiệu hệ thống độc canh “Full Sun”. Khi đó hầu hết các trang trại bị phá rừng, cà phê được trồng trong hàng rào dày đặc và cho phân bón hóa học và thuốc trừ sâu nặng.

Union Bay Crossing. Let's build a series of artificial islands all across the widest part of the bay!
So I had this idea: if you plotted all the major airports in the world, how much would the result resemble a map?
I found a database of airports with country, latitude & longitude etc (http://www.kingwoodcable.com/gpswaypoints/index.htm) and a list of three-letter IATA airport codes (http://www.photius.com/wfb2001/airport_codes_alpha.html).
A bit o' the old PostScript codin' later and I had this. Here I'm showing major and minor airports and colouring them too. Because I can.
