Don't go to the #map on my #photography website:
nicolas-hoizey.photo/map/

Don't click the “play” button at the bottom of the controls in the top right corner.

You've been warned!

You risk being mesmerized for hours, have a nice week-end... 😅

Even more if you also click the “fullscreen” button… 🤪

Disclaimer: it loads a loooooot of map tiles, you need a pretty good connection for it to run smoothly, and no fear of data plan consumption.

How to make a map of your mind via Austin Kleon

[Shared]When ideas aren’t coming, or I’m confused about what’s going on in my head, I’ll make something called a mind map. Starting in the middle of a notebook page, I’ll draw a picture, or write a word or phrase with a box or a circle around it, then I’ll write the first word or phrase that comes to my mind next to it, enclose it with a box or a circle, and draw a line connecting them. I’ll repeat this process until the page is full.

How 18th Century Spanish Conquistadors Built the Heart Los Angeles Around Crooked Streets via Laughing Squid [Shared]

[Video]Map historian Daniel Steiner, who previously explained how the first street grid in New York City started in Gravesend, Brooklyn, talked about how Spanish Conquistadors in the late 18th laid out the map for the city of Los Angeles.

In 1850, when California became part of the United States, most of the area began following a grid formation, except for the heart of the city, whose crooked streets are a reminder of the city’s Spanish roots.

Vintage-Style Map of the Mandelbrot Set via Kottke

[Shared]Bill Tavis designed this lovely vintage-style map of the familiar fractal shape, the Mandelbrot set. He is selling a poster version of the map, starting at the very reasonable price of $24. I don’t usually highlight the price on this sort of thing, but an unauthorized seller on Amazon was selling poor-quality counterfeits of the map and even though it wasn’t his fault, Tavis offered to replace any of the crappy maps for free. Great map, and apparently a great human who made it.
