Miss Cellania, you missed the part of the article about about the author of the blog "Book of Joe" being in the article! He's how I first heard about office treadmills almost a year ago. The article's other photo shows him whilst tread-blogging at his house.

His patterns uses a similar recursive sampling technique thatI use in my fractal maps. Fun to look at and to make :-)

You can go off to fight a war at 18, but can't come home and celebrate with a beer. I think it should be changed.

That's how you illuminate the world; from the inside out.

Following up on Juan Motaim's comment, the term "Hooker's Division" is actually a geographic location in Washington, DC. The Library of Congress has an old map showing that the area had over 100 Bawdy-houses and 50 saloons. It got its name because Hooker's soldiers were stationed there during the civil war. I placed the map over its contemporary geography in Google Earth to show how close it was to the White House and to point out that most of the business owners at that time were female. You can view it here.

My first maps that I created 4 years ago sampled these satellite images because they are in the public domain. You can view the modified satellite images I created on my "Maps of 2004" page. The original satellite images all have a timeless quality to them, but it would be nice if NASA released another batch into the public domain.
