Kudos to Matt for the truly impressive work he does at the New York Times.  He's gotten the attention of some big names in the "Neogeography" community, as shown by recent tweets from Peter Batty (Spatial Networking) and Sean Gorman (Fortius One).

Rarely seen 400-year old map puts China at the center of the world and shows the Americas off in the corner:

This website is so cracked, that I'll let it speak for itself:

Have you ever wondered why Italy is shaped like a boot? This is just one of the many mysteries that I try to uncover as we search our heavenly Father's creation and His written word. There are many other recognizable shapes as well that we will look at, especially animals. I hope you'll enjoy them.

As one commenter wrote on another blog about this... Holy Schnikies!

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/mapsdata/

With this new Data API, you have the ability to search tabular AND spatial data in Google Maps (that is, markers, lines, and polygons and their "attributes" (meaning anything in a <customProperty> tag for a marker/line/polygon, or anything in a <Data> tag for a KML file)).

 Spatial search types include box and circle.  Now, that doesn't sound like much at first to a GIS pro, but after several years of consulting I can tell you that this will satisfy 80% of a customer's needs.  And of course, this is free (until such time as Google decides to charge or insert advertising into your data or maps).

Came across this today, thought you EarthIT folk might be interested:

Looks a lot like ESRI's ArcGIS API for Flex, but with support for OGC protocols instead of ArcGIS web services.

No need to meditate on it.  This national Verizon DROID ad features local Madison natural health care business, Human Nature LLC.  Complete with it's Atwood address and location on a map.  It's nice to see the ad world get beyond the borders of NY City.
