Davis Thinking
Another Year Over

Maps as Interface
Considering Patrick's response to the last post, on second thought, it probably is too much of a stretch to think of maps as a medium. GPS & online maps use a networked electronic display as their medium, the maps Patrick mentions use papyrus, leather, paper, bark, etc. plus whatever was used to mark them up, and road maps obviously use the 1000 year old print medium. It is perhaps more useful to think of maps as an information interface, and as such, they are no doubt one of the first that humans invented.
Music Week: Newman's Picks #5
(We decided to pass the mic to our resident DJ, Rachel Newman, so that she can spin her unique sound on this week leading up to Christmas. Enjoy!) England’s Saint Etienne finishes out the week with some poppy yuletide spirit. “I was Born on Christmas Day” is off of the 1994 album, Tiger Bay. Happy holidays!
