My map. Deficiency: manual adjustments are not supported. I'd like to explode contacts.

The bigger amount of people connected + the more jobs you had, the more good looking map became. E.g.,

Hand made for GIS day

Suddenly I came up with Idea to make something funny or at least something uncommon for GISday. Well, I have neither a great mind nor time to do a presentation at my work. So, I've decided to make Cartography/GIS related by my hands.
I've chosen a picture for my 'Pin yourself on the map' badge.

 

while googling  for pins accidentally found nice hand made for GISday. Here are my 10 top findings
#1 Stairs

#2 Jacket 

#3 Cashwallet

#4 Love Map

#5  Christmas Ornaments

#6 Accessories - Earrings & Brangle /Bracelet & Ring

 

#7 Labels & Gift tags & Envelopes & Set of stickers

 

#8 Heart shaped pincushion

#9 A set of two hand-made buttons

 #10 Wrapping paper & Book cover

Reuse! Recycle! Be Creative!

word cloud with styles

I am all about typographic map, inspired by Washington DC , World map, and UAE  I have even made several attempts to create some. It is the first step that is troublesome. Fortuitously, there is a Tagxedo . It turns words - famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters - into a visually stunning word cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text  with very user-friendly interface, many  different colors and themes, fonts  and really quick processing.  Idea of making map flashed into my mind. Firstly, I found the map with shape of Ukraine boundaries

and then decided to make a research - to compare result on  different search engines and visualize the 'view' Ukraine in the web. Here are my results:

#1 - Google

#2 - Bing

#3 - Wikipedia

 #4 - Yahoo

#5 - Answers.com

#6 - Ask.com

It doesn't work with  Ukrainian/Russian encoding, therefore there is neither popular ukrainian nor russian web searcher in the blogpost.
Enjoy Tagxedo!

P.S. Does anybody know what is 'The SitePK'?

Map coasters

Once I have posted a link  devoted to handmade Map Coasters to my facebook page. The idea was to reuse old maps :)

One of my colleague liked them and suggested to present such coasters as gift for  our colleagues on the 2nd birthday of GIS team in Intetics.
Here they are!

Happy B-day Intetics Geo!
-----------------------------
Two days later I found out that there are more coasters than I thought.
