45°NE: Second Traverse
http://45degreesne.blogspot.com/2008/12/second-traverse.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. Reporting in after a slushy traverse this afternoon. Better slush than bitter bitter cold. This time I took a still camera and recorded the traverse. The result, narrated after the fact, is here, or on YouTube at higher resolution here. I chatted again with a couple of folks, again no-one knew the line was there. Perhaps because it isn't. If anyone wants the PDF version, let me know. I think this gives me what I need to start contacting residents and building owners. At Merlins...

Measured Words: September 2011
http://measuredwords.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 2, 2011. Truth to tell, one of the triggers for this blog came two and a half years ago, on my other blog, in a discussion about the word "Truth.". In particular, I've continued to be struck by how "truth" continues to be a quicksand for us today. In a nutshell, truth can mean honesty (making true testimony), or faithfulness (as in a true friend or an arrow flying true). And in fact, "faithfulness" is the older common meaning of the word. Suggestion: take a break from invoking "truth" i...

45°NE: Announcing the 45°NE Project
http://45degreesne.blogspot.com/2008/11/announcing-45-project.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. Announcing the 45°NE Project. I'm embarking on an experiment. I've been ruminating for a long time about how to express sense of place in maps (I'm a cartographer). For a few years I've been thinking about how to channel experience of place into a form true both to the objectivity-seeking values of cartography and. The personal-expression values of the fine arts (I was a studio arts major in college). After a thought provoking time at NACIS. I reached the conclusion. Anyone who...

45°NE: We're Not Alone
http://45degreesne.blogspot.com/2008/11/were-not-alone.html
Thursday, November 20, 2008. There are other sites out there documenting both 45°N markers and the true half-way point by distance. Steven Dutch from University of Wisconsin-Green Bay did this site. About markers in Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Roadside America did this article. Mostly on the same sites, and has links to directions for them, and also to this marker. In Maine. More about that marker here. As Ken Wedding pointed out on my other blog, The Degree Confluence Project.

mapHead: October 2013
http://maphead.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
I'm a cartographer and a Quaker. I think the two are related, and the common threads seem to be a regular theme here. This blog started out exploring what it means to make maps—the ontology of cartography. Then I spent some serious time working on issues surrounding theological diversity among Quakers. Lately it's become even more freeform, though I'm still interested in both these areas. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. The point of these testimonies, to me, is that they are the product of a faithful (dedic...

Which is odd given my experience of alienation from ...

Measured Words: Oh well.
http://measuredwords.blogspot.com/2011/12/oh-well.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. Well, this project failed to take off. I may return to it sometime, but I'm officially letting this blog rest. Thanks for contributing. I post pretty much anything that isnt spam, though I reserve the right to figure out something else to do with comments that are utterly off-topic. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In May of 2013, my wife Ingrid and I formed INCase, LLC. And Laughing Waters Preparative Meeting. Morris dance team, and organize sings. View my complete profile.
