Can't I just eat my waffle?
Having spent four years in the south, I appreciate a good Waffle House Experience. First, there's the black-on-yellow signage above the establishment, shining through the early morning, stuffy haze like a lighthouse beacon. Then, there's the usually friendly staff, which is a feat in and of itself, considering they are working in, well, a Waffle House. Then, of course, there are the waffles. Need I say more? Ok: I spent two days almost entirely encapsulated inside the McDonough, Georgia Waffle House while my Volkswagen Beetle was having its guts replaced in the garage next door. And the waffles just kept coming.
All of this is by way of introduction to the Very Small Array's lovely collection of maps, which can be found here.Labels: cartography, food, SCAD

Google Mashup of the week: Real-time voting results
It's been six weeks since I had my political junkie fix, so I waited eagerly tonight for the Pennsylvania Primary results to come in. Thanks to the folks at google, however, I could review voting stats in real-time, with the results keyed to a map. I've embedded the widget below for you to try out. The county-by-county graphs are handy for comparing various demographics, as well, and (if not for the odd color choices used in the graphs) are a nice addition.

Information equals power: Zimbabwe
Mapping the election conditions in Zimbabwe is Sokwanele. Their post from March 11th has been built upon and added to and contains on-the-ground reports of voter coercion, vote buying, political abductions, voter unrest, and other symptoms of a very tense situation surrounding the elections in Zimbabwe. It's today's best use of GoogleMaps, and a nice bit of information delivery.I think it's obvious what this sort of information can do for people who want to make a difference. The more detailed your level of information is, the better you can right wrongs, address challenges, and make informed policy decisions.Two things that would make it better: less-detailed iconography and hyperlinks to the specific events that are detailed in the map.
