Happy Father's Day to Me

Happy Father's Day to Me!

For Father's Day today, I was given a copy of You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination, edited by Katharine Harmon. Yes, I know I've already talked about it here and here. But I was only able to enjoy this book for three weeks at a time, checked out from the library.

There are so many delightful maps in this book, I would like to blog about them all... but that is not necessary, since Katharine Harmon has already put them together for you in this one place. Buy this book! I love it.

Mind the Gap

From the BritishDepot.com. Get your London Underground gear:

This site if full of everything that a British expat or fan could want, from biscuits to oven mits and flip-flops to lentil soup.

Use one of these mugs to drink your soup... and never get lost on the tube again...

Democratic Dream Mug

Happy Birthday to me.

My birthday present to me is this coffee mug. Starting with the 2004 electoral map, I can watch every red Rebublican state turn Democrat blue while I enjoy my favorite hot beverage.

I ordered mine from The Funny Times, however, you can find it online from many other fine Internet merchants, including Wickedcoolstuff.com and Stupid.com (the latter includes a flash animation of the mug's tranformation).

Cool Dad

Happy Father's Day from my kids.

Do they know their old man or what?

In addition of my love of maps and map memorabilia... I also love my cats. I promise this will not become a "cat blog", but you may be subjected, from time to time, with photos of my cats.

This one is Leela.
