Maps

I'm a little bit of a map nerd, I guess. That is, I like maps. I like old maps, new maps, interesting maps, you get the point. So I was pretty excited when I came across this blog: strange maps. Strange maps is a fun site in that it is a blog where the owner posts pictures/scans of all sorts of maps that he has come across. For a lot of people, the internet isn't about reading a lot, so the fact that all these pictures are present makes the blog fun. All you have to do is scroll down and look at cool pictures. Or, if you are like me and don't mind reading, you can reaad all the information the author of the blog provides for the various maps. As of 5 April there were 99 maps. Many of these are historical, some are general interest. The author gives a good ammount of information about each map, which makes it especially interesting of you are curious about some of these maps. The maps include :

• Where and how evolution is taught in the US
• What side and where people drive in the world
• The Island of California

Overall, this blog is pretty neat. Worth a look if you have nothing better to do.
