A Whole New Way To Map The Earth

Caterina Fake, one of the founders of Flickr has been hard at work on something bigger and better than ever. It’s called Findery and it allows interactive map sharing amongst users… Potentially this will be a whole new way of mapping the world.

Here’s an entry I did on FIndery when they first launched.

Personally, I’d like to incorporate all my grad school forest protection research into a map-based network like Findery, yet I’m still a bit uncertain if this is going to be the best choice…. Maybe if I’m in SF Bay Area when they have their open house I can find out more? Here’s the info about it:

 

FinderySave the date: March 9, 2013

We’re hosting our 2nd Open House at Findery HQ here in beautiful Hayes Valley. Tentatively titled “Findery Magic Lantern”, we hope that you’ll be able to join us for an afternoon of noteworthy adventure. RSVP here.

Warriorpoet Warriorpoetry Contest

What is this earth really? What is it? What does it mean to that which lives here?

Please watch this video and write a poem about it!

If you’re the winner of the 1st annual warriorpoet warriorpoetry contest, we’re not sure what the prize is yet, but maybe you could name your own prize? :-)

We’ll announce the winner on Earth Day… Please send your entry to armedwithvisions@gmail.com

Be well, Deane
