Cartophile collects beautiful maps
My Tumblr is a curated collection of beautiful maps and cartography related objects. I try to find the original source of images I post, if possible, but corrections and submissions are welcome.

Syllabi -- prepared reading for curious readers
Syllabi is a website I "launched" last week where I'm collecting informative or educational reading across various topics. Each post covers a specific subject comprehensively, providing a comprehensive selection of relevant (mostly journalistic) writing. I'm aiming this at curious, intelligent readers with a lust for substantial reading material.

3 Numbers for the iPhone: a traveler's multitool from the future of the past
Last weekend I went up into the attic to put away some papers, when I noticed this old wooden box behind a pile of National Geographics. I would have sworn that I’d never seen it before, but in fact it must have been there for ages, before we ever even moved in. The box was covered with thick dust when I found it. I brushed it off and carefully opened up the lid. Resting gently on top of its contents was an odd little note...

Ultimate resource for people who create stuff online.
This site is pretty much a collection of links that I've found very useful over the last year, or so. First, and foremost, I must thank Vitaly.Friedman for getting the vast majority of them together all in one place for the first time. I used his version of this page for many months before taking on the not small task of creating my own. Why would I do such a thing? I wanted a list of resources more tailored to my tastes and needs. There was about a 5% broken link ratio on the other one; as well as tons of links to German, Russian, and Spanish language sites. My horizons being a bit narrower, I wanted to cull some of the noise (to me) from the signal. I also love information design and enjoyed the challenge of arranging such a vast amount of information in an easily navigable and understandable way. I'll do my best to keep it updated, to cull broken links as they arise, and I'll be expanding on it considerably as I continue to find and evaluate resources for web developers. If you come across a broken link, or know of a resource that you'd like to see added to this page, let me know at the suggest/report a link page. I hope this list of resources is as useful to you as it has been, and will be, to me.

Hearts Atwirl
I helped my fiancee create this website to catalog her collection of vintage valentines from the early to mid 20th century. The valentines range from the cute to the inscrutable to the plain old offensive. Valentines are grouped into categories and will continue to grow as she scans more valentines from her collection.

What if FDR had been like GWB?
I got tired of right-wingers saying, “If the media had been as hard on FDR as they are on President Bush, we’d have lost World War II.” So I put together this short (2-minute) film to show what World War II would have been like if FDR really had been like GWB...
