Green Map Project Lead As there seem to be so many projects at N2Y3 that involve a mapping component, I though I would introduce myself and make some connections. My mind is rather blown with some of the latest developments in online mapping, having just returned from Where 2.0 in San Francisco. My background is in Drupal development, and I've done a lot with the Google Map module. You can see some of the stuff at the beta of Green Map's project for N2Y3 - the Open Green Map. If anyone has q

The latest show of climbing video game sales came in April’s 47 percent year over year increase.

As this usage continues to climb there are also developments from marketers looking to capitalize on the high engagement and repetitive use of video games. With lots of talk of product placement and contextualized ads on television, it’s

I was walking in a unseeing cloud of frustration after a tiring work day, but when I got to the tube station I was humbled. I step into the lift and a man there says "Is this going down?" "Don't know. Should be," I reply curtly, without any warmth. "I'm not angry. I can't see. I'm blind," he says, though perhaps he saw enough of the flush on my face as I softened. I try not to wince at my own embarrassment and the lift descends. There's a silence until I say, "Can I help you at the bottom?

Lately I've been a little bit disenchanted with my mind maps. Not because of content, just because I would create a map and often not look at it again. Also, when you work in mind mapping for a living, sometimes you just don't feel like going back into a map and fooling with looking at it. May sound crazy, yet if you map it right you've committed a lot of it to memory. I'm mostly talking about content maps... execution maps I live in. It's like the fast food employee who burns out on hamburgers
