thought-provoking "Map of the Political Blogosphere" that "maps" blogs based on whether they are progressive, independent, conservative or mass media, and looks at the relationships between them.  Tully Fascinating Representation of data.

I was coming back from the Microsoft event and I walked through the LA downtown library. A great resource. I always think that library are 10 years from extinction then I visit this one and I am reminded how much it just makes me want to learn. It a real cornerstone to the great city of Los Angeles.

As I walked through I hit the great exhibit that they have and found a map of LA Ranches from back in the day. It was so awesome I had to share.

Since I have dived into mapping I have grown to love the diversity of paper maps..I plan to show as many as I can.
