What an excellent visualization tool. I would have loved to have had this available when I used to teach cartography. hypertidy.github.io/playproj/
Screenshot from the linked online site. Shows a wireflame globe and wireframe map. Lines connect the globe to the map, showing the projection.

Why Australia Is A Continent But Greenland Is An Island
Greenland is not a small continent. It is a large piece of North America with some water in the way. Why Australia qualifies and Greenland does not.

Looks like my part of the state will stay in Illinois. I'm ok with that.

Today, on this day of remembrance, Trump had better keep his damned pie hole shut about Canada. I, for one, will forever remember the gift of love our brothers and sisters in Gander, Halifax, and Vancouver gave on this day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

You should add one of those "buy me a coffee" links in your posts but change it to "by me a drink". You'll be hooked up for life (I know I'd buy you one).

Uhh... Trump promised to pay every American $5,000 if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate. First off, he's lying. Second, will SOMEBODY who has the authority and skill set to do so, please do something about this blatant "pay for votes" scheme. JFC

Listen, when viewed through the lens of geologic time, these price hikes aren't even noticeable. Oh wait, these guys think the planet is 4,000 years old.

I will not put "Lake America" and "Gulf of America" labels on any map I make. If you don't like that, you can stick it in your antipode.

I wish everyone would refer to her by the name she has been using for 20 years - Darline Nordone instead of giving her a free ride to being Trump's rubber stamp by using Graham.

Canada is a sovereign state, just like the other countries of the world. I'm not surprised this d!psh!t Vice President tries to pass off his ignorance as "being clever."

There used to be a thing called the Hatch Act. I'm going to guess that there will be media silence about it until a democrat is back in power.

Thanks for the workflow! Looks like a fair amount of trial and error, which is what we all go through anyway when we make maps.

Either it's true and "leaked" (which is why he wants them in jail), or it's nonsense. It's not both.

The press overwhelmingly treated Reagan the same way. When Ron did and said his nonsense, they treated him like any other aging senior, and not the damned President of the United States.
