Stamps, postcards, advertising, coffee mugs, shirts, and other ephemera. I love maps, and maps as an element of design. "I think that the constant study of maps is apt to disturb men’s reasoning powers" -- Lord Salisbury
Ha! This has gotta be the most high-profile pop culture moment for the Great Projection Debate in history.I like how what's-her-name's mind is blown by these cartographic revelations.
That's a great clip. I should get the West Wing DVDs some time...
This moment in West Wing was the first time I had heard of the Peters map, and it's stuck with me ever since.When we hung up our own Peters map at our house, I couldn't stop thinking about this scene. Josh's disbelieving exuberance is priceless.Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the link.
And she's from Dayton, so double relevance points :-) Man, I wish I'd watched The West Wing when it was on TV...
