Some good Geo-stuff.... and some bad Geo-stuff.

As always, Twitter is a constant source of excellent GIS and general Geo 'stuff'. The community is so active it's untrue. Sometimes it's rubbish however. Maps for the sake of it that don't really 'show' anything other than a nice picture. Or worse, maps that show pointless things badly. Maps for maps sake aren't really my bag.

That said, many great ideas and invention have come out of things that weren't originally meant, for example penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming after he left a dish of bacteria uncovered for a few days and returned to find the dish covered in bacteria apart from a small area where penicillin had been...! So, on that theme, here's something I think is rubbish but what do I know! That's right. It's some sort of weird map, that someone has turned into a face. Where is it a map of? Who knows. What's the purpose? Art I guess. Hey ho. So clearly this doesn't rock my boat. Which my two arty housemates will no doubt chide me for. I'm not against art at all, I like art, but this is just silly. Anyway, onto better things, if I do say so myself! It's a little map I've just put together for my Coastal Engineering assignment at Uni. It's pretty basic, and could do with some towns and features for the user to orientate themselves, perhaps a small extent window in the bottom right to show which area of Britain it's in, but I think it does a job - it's shows where the Sites of Special Scientific Interest are on the South Coast.
