SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

The big picture....almost

In Response To: The big picture.... (Grasshopper)

Ugh, it seems so close, yet so far. We seem to have the right idea, but literal longtitude and latitude arent working...i keep hitting water, and now we /know/ that for sure that's a dead end, as tycho says above.
tycho said the whole world, not just a hemisphere, but, the data as long/lat doesn't allow for this... trying to "fit" the coordinates over cities, "calibrating" the points, in a sense, is something I'm not going to try because I'm too lazy, and i don't think those crazy ai's would be that mean. So, there's some obvious way of interpreting a 120...I hope. :P
120 what? that's the question, isn't it?
