vs the usual map we see. Illustrates the hidden bias of conventional cartographic projections.

The Peters projection is the only map that shows the true area of each continent on the globe.

Size of Groenland: 2 166 086 Km2
Size of China: 9 596 960 km2

Check out your usual map. What? Different eh?
Chcck out the New Internationalists map...

Some say that since the Europeans draw the maps.. they would have made Western Europe bigger.
Then what happens with photographs taken from the sky?

I am not saying I totally agree with that map.
I would love some of your comments....

Tout recemment, un ami m'a envoyé une photo de sa visite au Guggenheim Museum à Bilbao , Espagne. Que fut-elle ma surprise lorsque je remarquai l'énorme araigné située à ses côtés! Suite à quelques recherches, j'ai apris que notre belle araignée située au côté du National Art Gallery n'était pas la seule au monde. Bien plus étonnant encore, elle a 5 soeurs.

Lousie Bourgeois, artiste d'origine française est la créatrice de ces araignées de plus de 30 pieds de haut. Elle les a nommées: Maman. Elles sont situées de façon permanente à Ottawa, Bilbao, Tokyo, St-Pétersbourg, à Sao Paulo, à la Havane. Un modèle plus léger voyage autour du monde. Présentement situé au Tate Modern à Londres, il se dirige au printemps 07 vers Paris, pour ensuite voyager vers New York et Los Angeles.

So it's the first thing the radio tells you. -26 , but right now, feels like -40.

-26. -40 with Wind factor .. In theses times, you have to put together all the reasons that would get you out of bed. Try to forget that -26 is the greatest reason to stay in. Ales had Class. (But it's only a lasting 1:30, he won't be there, he's always saying the same things... Don't go!)

I went most of al because skipping class makes me feel guilty. A lot. Nature isn't winning today.

Alex : 0 Nature: 0 (ok ok 0.5...only because she made me hesitate)

Nose hairs sticking together cause of the cold.
Nose running as soon as you get on the bus.
Wind makes your eyes cry.. cry an cry more.
For those wearing glasses, a pain to see them (or see nothing) full of haze when you walk inside somewhere
iPod earphones wires freezing in one position
