What I am Looking at: Map Projections
May 12th, 2009
With Blogs there is the tendency to get to the end or close a story prematurely and write an opinion. I hope this blog is more about traveling and collecting stuff as I move to firmer ground for the occasional useful statement.
How we unfold or project the earth often depends on what we want to get at and sometimes it depends on the limits of the tools we have on hand. The difference between “what we want to get at” and “limit of the tools we have on hand” can tell us more about the gap.
Each projection is self-consciously 2-Dimensional.
