Self-Strutted Geodesic Plydome, Richard Buckminster Fuller 1959

[sahu]

Day 4: 2.11 miles, felt ok although I felt pretty tired and sluggish the whole day. Took an hour nap which may have helped a little. Did some plyometrics after the run and used a foam roller. I took @buckythefrenchy for a pretty long walk today. Total of about 3.29 miles. We went to primrose hill and regents park. He loves being off leash in the parks. He really does a great job of listening to commands and checking in/waiting for me when he gets ahead. The Bucky picture is at the start of our nap.

“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” -Buckminster Fuller

Here is some philosophical food for thought. In light of the bear-bating benefits debates. What is your opinion?

Wish for Leyline Icosohedral Map

You may have already heard of the Bermuda Triangle near Florida, perhaps even the Devil's Triangle near Japan,

there are actually 12 such Vile Vorticies around the globe, two not shown are at the poles, north and south.

Plan is to make a map that accounts for these vortices's and other Ley-Line energetic phenomena.

People could use it for navigation and identifying spiritual and energetic properties of various locations.

Are you a cartographer or know someone who is?

Perhaps you can help make this a reality. :-)

If you can create it, or help me do so, really would be much appreciated, and likely a significant contribution to cartography and the planet. :-)

There is already a Mercator projection of the Ley Lines Map,

It would be great to have a more natural map with equal-area, that could be assembled into a globe with minimal distortion such as Buckminister Fuller's Icosohedral Map, but one that is split along the ley-lines.

The actual co-ordinates of the LeyLine points are as follows:

Thanks in advance, any suggestions, comments, or pointers welcome.
