overrated

formerly known as "i make pretty pictures" because as a graphic designer, that is actually what some people think i do for a living, this blog will now be titled, "overrated" for a variety of reasons i do not feel like explaining. the focus will be somewhat eclectic, though sports, design, the arts and pop culture will be featured more and more. because these are the things that interest me.

get your giant map here

the entire earth at 84,000 pixels tall and 168,000 pixels across. thats what you get when you download the large version of a map of the earth from unearthed outdoors. they have made this free 32-tile map available under a creative commons attribution 3.0 license. each square is 21,000 pixels square and available as a png or geotif. they have smaller images available but who needs them when you have a 600dpi map of the earth thats 24 feet long?
