When I'm in a place, I like to walk. I want to know enough to stay out of bad neighborhoods, to find interesting ones, and to be aware of significant landmarks. I don't want to miss the big attractions, but I also want the freedom to happen upon that perfect little cafe and pastry shop, or the brilliant bookstore that'... |
So I like to wander. But once I'm back in my room, and have uploaded my pictures from the day, I want to reconstruct my path, and figure out where I've been. I used to do this on maps, tracing out my route with a highlighter. This wasn't always very successful. It required remembering street names, knowing how many blo... |
But what turned me into a Flickr map fanatic? And what bigger lesson could that possibly hold? |
The act of putting pictures on the Flickr map combines three different kinds of knowledge. First, it draws on your physical memory of travel and picture-taking. Second, it draws on your visual memory. And third, it connects those two kinds of knowledge and memory to a formal system, the logic of the map. Putting these ... |
Consider picture-taking first. Like all forms of knowledge-creation, picture-taking is a physical activity as well as an intellectual or technical one, and that physicality can be something that helps fix in your memory the event of taking the picture. I have pictures of Wiamea Canyon, on the island of Kauai, that I ca... |
Flickr lets you put pictures on an ordinary street map, which is just a grid with street names, rivers, train lines, and the occasional park. Sometimes that's enough information; but when it's not, I switch to the satellite mode, which overlays aerial photographs atop the street map. I find that the satellite photograp... |
Of course, that requires knowing how to decode satellite photographs, and how to relate that information to my own experience. Figuring out how to connect what you see in your photograph to what's on a satellite picture is a skill that we didn't have to learn before. Unless you worked for the CIA or had a particularly ... |
Translating the ground-eye view of a landmark or city grid into an aerial view isn't that hard, but it does need to be learned. London's Trafalger Square becomes a set of long shadows (Nelson's column) with a few shapes (the lions around it, the fountains nearby); Leicester Square, trees and park paths bordered by the ... |
Finally, putting the pictures on the map is a way to relate the personal experience and first person view to the formal, high-level view. They're my memories, organized; and organizing my memories builds my knowledge of– and arguably my understanding of– the place and how it's laid out. Given that I may post 500 pictur... |
Right now this kind of mapping is mainly fun (believe it or not) and educational, but it will really pay off in a couple years, when I can go back to city with my e-paper travel journal, equipped with wifi and GPS. So equipped, I'll be able to call up those pictures in situ: see what Piccadilly Square looked like the l... |

NeverTrump idiots act like a bunch of crybabies over Trump’s appearance on Jimmy Fallon… |
Wow. Just unbelievable. Does everyone have to hate Trump? Does it make you a bad person for supporting him? Trump appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show and the NeverTrump idiots are furious about it. They complain, whine and bitch about it on social networking. They were upset at the way Jimmy Fallon handled Trump on the s... |
In defense of Jimmy Fallon, he might not be a fan of Trump but regardless of political views, Jimmy respects all guests on his show. Jimmy was just giving Trump respect. Jimmy didn’t want to treat Trump negatively ’cause he knows a lot of Trump supporters would be watching and he didn’t want to lose ratings if he decid... |
Liberals and some conservatives on the NeverTrump crowd like to view Trump as a guy who says mean and offensive things. I think the NeverTrump idiots are upset at that ’cause they just found out that Mr. Trump is not that at all, a mean guy. They just found out the truth that Mr. Trump is actually a fun loving, good-he... |
You see a lot of people want to look at Trump as a bad man but they’re just brainwashed idiots who just follow the media. Trump has always been a good guy. I think the haters are just surprised and shocked to find out that he’s actually a good man and it pissed them off. Oh well. |
I give kudos for Jimmy for showing Trump respect and treating him fair unlike Seth Myers and Jimmy Kimmel who treats Trump badly. After this, I expect Seth Myers and Jimmy Kimmel wanting to have Trump on their shows pretty soon. Give it time. |

1. If you pay attention, he’s just fucking with the media. Trolling them. A rick roll kind of thing. I think he’s still skeptical of the birth certificate. He’s manipulating the media which he is a genius at. Trump did an event at his new hotel honoring the war vets and all the media wants to talk about is Trump ad... |
1. … but he’s totally right that HRC and Democrats started the Obama birther movement. Liberals want us to forget that happened and they think they can get away with it. |

The Secret Life of Lips Uncovered |
The human lips: We all have them but rarely give them too much thought, that’s unless they bother us in some way. They are also things that we couldn’t do without. If you didn’t have lips, you would run into all kinds of disruptions in everyday living. And like any other aspect of our facial features, if we don’t like ... |
Why You Would Miss Your Lips |
It’s not possible to miss a thing until it’s gone. Ask anyone why they need their lips and the answers are not usually forthcoming, at least not until after a little deliberation. It’s one of those questions like “why do men have nipples,” or “why do we need toenails,” etc. There are answers to all these things, but no... |

Some people also use their lips to hold things, without giving it a second thought. It might be for holding onto clothes-pegs (clothespins) when hanging out the washing. You often see construction workers holding onto a few nails with their lips too. As you can see, there’s a lot going on in any given day that needs th... |
Looking After the Lips |
Lips in general take a lot of abuse, not least because of their location, protrusion and lack of protection. They don’t have any oil or sweat glands like other parts of the body either, which is why they can easily dry out. Furthermore, your lips are always exposed to irritants. Here are just a few of the things that c... |
• Foods and drinks |
• The tip of your tongue |
• Environmental contaminants |
• The weather |
This list could go on of course. It all depends on the individuals work, geographical location and lifestyle in general. For these reasons, it’s important that you take good care of your mouth, though it’s one area that a lot of people do neglect. We actually bring on a lot of the dryness, irritation and hurt ourselves... |

A Crucial Part of You |
We’ve looked at what our lips are and what they do for us. Now let’s look briefly at the beauty aspect. People can be just as attracted by lips as any other facial feature.
