Hello world - this blog is under new ownership - I will be doing my best to respond to all emails and suggestions for new and cool maps to add, so keep those cards and letters coming. I have a bit of a backlog to go through, but I will try to get to it all by the end of the month, so if you have already sent a request, I'll be reading it shortly.

Thanks!
