Ruk is a helpful person. Far more helpful than I ever am. This weekend he posted about how you can create a Google map to collaboratively and graphically and geographically display information about something. Trouble is... I write on a blog and have been writing on this blog for six years and about two weeks but I don't really think it is about anything. So, I am creating a map to see what would go on a map collaboratively and graphically and geographically to display information about nothing.
It will take time to either fill or be forgotten. I have invited a number of people to try to play with this but also have made collaboration public, too. Click here to get to the map if you care to watch or play amateur cartographer. And read Ruk's instructions for how to participate. Remember at step 5 to press "edit" to make that blue water droplet icon for creating new information.

I think you are being cheeky. Of course, I visit everyday, so I guess I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing.

Never. I've even created another map called "A Good Beer Blog's Map Of Many Anecdotes" and a Norwegian has already noted where he had his first beer.
You aren't displaying the Island social pathology related to confusion and suspicion in the face of genial novelty, are you?

Hmmm. Could be. I was born here, so it is a natural reflex that, if unchecked, well....

Hey - never doubt yourself. You have to be what the Gods made you. Besides you are the only Islander who admits these things.
