There is a great new project started by our friends over at buddhistgeeks.com called “Buddhadharma 2.0″. Ryan from buddhistgeeks.com started an interactive, community built mindmap of the “emerging Buddhadharma 2.0″. Here is a link to see the map and here is a link to the background information. Let me know if you want to participate and I’ll send you an invite to MindMeister so you can sign up and start contributing to the map. Cool stuff.
Continuing with my fascination with maps, here is a catalog of NASA images and animations of our home planet. There are a lot of cool images made up of a composite of several images, sometimes hundreds of images.
Buckminster Fuller was one of my childhood heroes. Even though most of his important work was done in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, he is still revered and honored today. Above is his map of the world with an unfolded Fuller projection, also known as Dymaxion Air-Ocean World map. 1954 final version for an icosahedron, with folding lines. This map shows the land masses as there true sizes. I remember another projection of this map that showed the oceans in the center and the land masses on the edges.
Maps are on of the coolest things. Here is a link to my favorite map retailer. Raven Maps and Images.
Bucky deplored waste and was an original ecologist. He espoused the values of a principle he called ephemeralization, which means doing more and more with less and less. Quoting from wikipedia:
Wealth can be increased by recycling resources into newer, higher value
products whose more technically sophisticated design requires less
material.
