cartography and tuning

Both monz and Paul have expressed an interest in
cartography. Here's a neat map by Wendy Carlos...

i'm a certified card-carrying Map Geek.

i've spent a significant portion of my earnings over the years
on maps of all kinds, and not antiques (meaning that they
were all relatively inexpensive). so you can imagine the
collection i have.

in case you didn't know, you can make a 60-sided "globe" like this:

/metatuning/files/triangleworld.jpg

by printing out a set of 30 rhombus maps from here:

http://magliery.com/Zome/rhombiworld/

i projected this from a very large topographic data set i
downloaded . . . i also made the rhombi diagonals in exactly a 3:2
ratio, rather than the true ratio that would result in the "correct"
pentakis dodecahedron, so that one could use thirry 4-by-6 index
cards to construct the underlying shape (just fold the cards in half
each way to find the center of each side, then fold four diagonals
connecting these midpoints to form the rhombus; the four 1/8-card
triangles outside the rhombus can be used as "flaps" to connect the
cards and form the polyhedron) . . .

here's a little movie of the "rhombiworld" spinning and then morphing
into my company logo:
