There are a lot of reasons I can't stand Jordan B Peterson but the fact he titled his most popular book "Maps of Meaning" and thus permanently distorted the algorithm for cartography is something I can never forgive.

Fascinated by how many people aren't content to visit a cool map store, see some cool maps and maybe buy a cool map or two. They NEED to go on a lengthy tirade about how they love maps more than others (young people).
For the record, I'm the only one who loves maps correctly.

What I've discovered about the business world is that it is a lot like the science world but with worse visual aids and less precise language.

Cynicism is not wit and unless it's really well informed, it's usually just tedious.

Backing up the old Map Center website and deleting the old service now that I've migrated to a better one.

Feeling delightfully unburdened by what has been.
