Poverty is not wealth in miniature. All the equations change when you don’t have room to maneuver.

I hope you guys like kickass maps, because the rumors are true: I’ve finally stopped not working for @mapbox.

Someone did this to scare us. Stop helping them. Just stop. Give money, time, or blood:  http://www.redcross.org 

I promise to update  http://isnatesilverawitch.com/  the moment the situation changes.

And I don’t just mean “we” as mappers – we as Americans, and the whole world, are smarter, more efficient, and safer because of NASA’s work.
