Thick Mapping and what's it to you Mappers.

Not sure how it made it across my wire, FB, Twitter, Tumblur, or even email, it just exploded into my mind the moment I saw it.  Todd Presner will explore some of the emerging tools and platforms in the “spatial humanities” for creating “thick maps” and “thick visualizations” as well as discuss the HyperCities project and his recent book, Thick Mapping in the Digital Humanities (Harvard UP, 2013). I just did today Thick Mapping,  As I've been involved in CrisisMapping for a number of years the value of mapping as a contextual visualization of a disaster has been a game changer in my book as to how EOP for any or "All Hazards." let alone the educational benefits. So what is this think mapping  according to  Digital Humanities  it's ...  *.the practices of thick mapping in the Digital Humanities place a primacy on experiential navigation, epistemologies of representation, and the rhetorics of visualization. thus enable...

So we made it to 2013 what the point?

Having lived through yet again the end of the world, my first was in 1973 and that also had a comet to go along with it. I have to wonder what our  world  will be like for the next few decades until Sir Isaac Newton,  prophecy  of 2060 being the date of the  apocalypse   if you just believe that we're totally out of the clear.  We have a  period  of time before us  in which  a New  Eden  is to sprout to life amid all the ruin of the Doomtards dream of a  nightmare  ending that alas didn't come to pass. This New Eden will be strange from most with it's  nonjudgmental view  of earth changes and embracing of the here and now.  Being  present  in one's mind, body, community, company/enterprise is this new trail we're blazing and I look forward to seeing so many other out on it.

GOPigs and the immigration debate?

Rep He came to my attention because of his stance on immigration  "Well, you are also talking about people that came over 16 years of age, At that point you had a say in it, and that looks more like amnesty. But you are looking at 12 and under people, it certainly looks -- I can understand that." I can't understand how someone that panders to the public get's elected.  This man clearly does not follow any moral code I learned growing in Texas either in church or in the fields.   A child is child is a child and all of them where expected to follow their parents right up in time the time they could live life the way their earnings afforded or age 18. Now the story got a bit more interesting when I visited Crooks and Liars  to learn more about Rep.  Farenthold.
