[The Equinational Projection map](http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/11/06/2001-the-reeves-equinational-projection/). I used to care about whether Peters or Mercator was better. But then I got a globe.

*Announcements*: * Coalition announces [52 weeks of unpaid parental leave for parents](http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/11/07/2084142.htm). * ALP announces a [Horticulture Code of Conduct](http://www.alp.org.au/media/1107/mspi070.php). 17 days to go.
[Woden under construction in 1971](http://the-riotact.com/?p=5860). Canberra is a very, very young city.
[A map of the exact borders of the US](http://www.radicalcartography.net/?us-territory). Gives a good idea of just how fuzzy a concept like 'territory' can be.
[Make your own Theremin](http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2007/10/make_a_theremin_weekend_p_1.html?CMP=OTC-0D6B48984890). No one who's seen the SF films of the 1950s could ever mistake the sound.
[A photocopier that 'intelligently' decides which bits to redact](http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/15/1457200&from=rss). I can confidently guarantee this would become the most hated piece of equipment in any office.
[Lights to make your bike look like a Police vehicle](http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cycling/bicygnals-front-and-rear-lights-makes-your-bike-look-like-a-cop-car-318296.php). Funny the first time. Until the car comes back and runs you off the road, that is.
Very, very quiet on the hustings today. Almost as if there was something else on... 18 days to go.
[Photographs of the guards and staff of Auschwitz Concentration Camp having a good old time](http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2007/09/frolicking_in_the_shadow_of_hell.php). Looking at these sent a tremendous shiver down my spine.
[Pictures of Saturn from the Cassini probe](http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2007/10/15/cassini-10-years-and-counting/). It's incredible to think that space probes like this have only been around for 30 years.
