Mapping Party

We had a great time mapping Wednesday night. I know I'm a bit of a restless neurotic multitasker, but I do wish that more social events were centered around making stuff and working on projects. I was really inspired by all the creative action around me.

A few people just came by to hang out for a while and see some of the new toys we've been working on, but most people came to get busy on some mapping projects. Di-Ann started working on her map zine. Reverend Phil and Sergio ( www.zoobomb.org/gallery/albums.php freegeek.org/) worked on a Place list for a bike map, but they haven't mapped the Places yet. Our downstairs neighbors from the French bakery Nuvrei mapped the Places that sell their exquisite goods. Tracy (aka me), Chrissy, and Aaron recruited Bce (Brian from Janrain) to help do research for an elections map. Brian also has a cool Cycloross map on Platial (www.platial.com/bce/map/9782) and on his website (race.cx/2006/09/14/cyc...-atlas/"). The elections map will be up and visible early next week (I hope).

Scootdown(aka Benjamin Satterfield), who just happened to be in town, started mapping Richard Neutra buildings (www.platial.com/scootdown/map/10531). He's part of the team that made Blogabond (www.blogabond.com/).

Jason was the most impressive in the one-night map project. It took him until about 2 AM, but he managed to completely finish Platial's first Choose Your own Adventure Map (platial.com/jason/map/10526).
