GPS + PSP

Definitely under the mainstream geo label, Engadget reports today that Sony's senior marketing manager was heard mentioning GPS enabled PSP ... I'm not a gamer at all but there are a lot of people that will be liking this. Sounds like the original GPS game has some competition.

This American Life does mapping

One of my favorite shows ever, This American Life does mapping on this week's show. This weeks show has 5 parts and looks at mapping the world by the 5 senses. North Carolina artist, cartographer and author Denis Wood joins Ira Glass in Act I. Ira gives an interesting perspective to mapping from a non-mapping person (if there is such a person these days). I'm not sure I agree with everything he says but interesting none-the-less.

Denis is author of The Power of Maps and co-author of Making Maps: A Visual Guide to Map Design for GIS (occasionally used in our GIS curriculum).

The following link will take you directly to this weeks podcast - Mapping.
