Maps are one of my secret nerdy pleasures! More more more.

Hmmn, maybe I can figure out how to use Gmaps Pedometer to show people how far they could get walking a mile in my shoes.

@monk rocker: I don’t think so. I think you have to do the resizing before you put it together, but I haven’t played with it a ton. Flickr and Picasa both have some free rudimentary editing that can help.

YEAH everybody. We’re gonna do another map next week.

Very sorry, but my imported icon seems extra large.

Is there a way to edit it other then to kill the file/place were the icon came from?

This is a great idea. And you know, it took me a long time to think of any place that would be fitting. That is a very sad commentary on my life. On the other hand, I did think of a place, and a time when I had been strong. And that was a good thing.

Thank you.

Oh man, props to all of YOU for your stories. Keep getting them out there! I am out of clown school next week and am going to see if we can do some rad things with this.

@Kirrily: I tried to email you from my phone today but I don’t know if it got to you or not. This happens to me sometimes, too. I have to reload the map and it usually snaps out of it. The issue isn’t with the link but with something about how Google maps switches between custom maps.

@jadelyn This is the beauty of internet maps: you can’t hog it! there’s enough room for everyone! One of my favorite parts of The Internet is how it remakes notions of space and audibility. Go to town!

er, that should be formerly not formally… although I guess I am formally known as Ali as well.
