I love maps. This a fantastic one.
Missouri has never looked so good … Dave Imus’ map of the United States recently won the “Best of Show” at the annual competition of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society.
Slate magazine calls Imus’ cartographic work of art, “The Greatest Paper Map Of The United States You’ll Ever See.”
“What I did different than anybody else who ever made a map of the United States was that I brought into focus… the basic geography,” Imus told Here & Now’s Robin Young. “People that read this map or look at it on the wall can understand and appreciate more deeply the character of the United States… the lay of the land.”

So glad these two are playing on the same line in the ASG!

Stamkos knows that, one day, his Claude Giroux autographed stick will be worth a lot of money.
Completely missed this yesterday, but sounds fantastic! Looking forward to this series of videos on the science behind hockey skills.

Photo Series of the Day: Tim Mantoani goes meta for his new book Behind Photographs by photographing famous photographers behind their far-more-famous photographs.
See the rest here.
Point the First: I really dislike fandom animated gifs in general. They give me a headache.
Point the Second: I really adore Doctor Who.
Point the Third: This animated gif encapsulates each series of Doctor Who SO well, that I am willing to overlook Point the First and reblog it. Well done!

Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.
Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.
Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.
If you absolutely must scab, here are a few useful links:
