"The Map is Not the Territory"
“The Map is Not the Territory”
Found this interesting quote and observation (among many) in the essay DONALD REMEMBERS VINTAGE SCI-FI: The Cortico-Thalamic Pause: Growing Up Sci-Fi by Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan). It used to be available online but is now published as part of Fagen’s book Eminent Hipsters. One of [Count Alfred Korzybski’s] most quoted sentences is, “The map is not the territory“. In other words, don’t confuse…

Simile Timeline project, "platform independence" concept and Rice Python programming MOOC
Simile Timeline project, “platform independence” concept and Rice Python programming MOOC
I’ve been experimenting with Timeline, a widget from MIT’s SIMILE project, and intend to build one and share it online. The goal is to create a Louis Armstrong recording Timeline from the 1920s, with images and linking to the recordings (should all be accessible on YouTube in some form). Basically Armstrong’s 2os recording locations are predictable and uncertain at the same time . During the 20s…

Articulating my current preference for Google Earth over ArcGIS (c.2012)
Contributed the following post to a Google Earth vs. ESRI discussion on StackExchange, detailing my current preference for Google Earth over ArcGIS, example screenshot at the end. – Andrew This isn’t really a response to the initial question about Google Earth Enterprise (which I haven’t used) but more to the series of responses already made. I’m comparing Google Earth (not Maps) to the ArcGIS…

When children view their abilities as something they can change over time, they're more apt to deal well with challenges, researchers say. And what parents say can help or hurt.

(faceted browser interface for British Library Exhibit “The Unveiling of Britain (created as part of a BLL 2015 application)
In April 2015 I developed a new Viewshare-driven faceted browser interface which revitalizes The Unveiling of Britain, a British Library online exhibition first published in 1999. This new interface (click to open) enables users to dynamically explore the exhibition’s 422 historical map assets for the first time. It was originally a demonstration project built to accompany my BLL Competition…

Google Fusion Tables: Colonial and Federalist architecture
Google Fusion Tables: Colonial and Federalist architecture
Haven’t been updating this blog, but here are some of the New Media and Technology projects I’m experimenting with. Probably I’ll reboot the entire blog at some point to reflect what I’m engaged with currently. I’ve been experimenting with Google Sheets and Fusion Tables as tools to organize and display “cultural object” images and metadata. Here’s the fusion table I set up containing 364…

Using the Google Earth API as a 3-D viewer for non-georectified old maps
Using the Google Earth API as a 3-D viewer for non-georectified old maps
This is an experiment I did last year using Google Earth as a viewing engine to explore an overlay created from an old map of Rouen, France, and I’m very happy with how it worked out.
To view it you need the Google Earth API installed on you browser.
It’s easy to forget that a 2-dimensional vellum map like this was designed to be viewed as 3-dimensional objects, not top down, North-is-Up…

Historic Map Compiling Project - Plan Scénographique de Lyon, 1544-1553
In January 2014 I digitized 25 separate segments of “Le Plan Scénographique de Lyon vers 1550,” a giant medieval map of the French city of Lyon (cc. 1544-53 CE, the earliest known) for a Rice professor. I’ve been fascinated with it ever since.
The segments (preserved in the Lyon City Archives) are to be arranged for viewing in a 5 by 5 grid (above left) with each segment being overlapped by…
