Last night, at a dinner that migrated through medieval Copenhagen from bistro to church to the famous BoBi Bar (no link because it refuses all publicity and, indeed, bans photography), I promised Steve and Cindy Crescenzo a list of the cartography blogs I follow.
I thought I would just list them here. Maybe readers can add to the list.
The Map Room, by Jonathan Crowe. Not a cartographer, but started the blog as an “exercise in self-education.” My favorite cartography site; a locus of mapping.
Strange Maps. People map for all sorts of odd reasons. Strange Maps finds them. Heavily commented.
Maphead. “I’m a cartographer and a Quaker. I think the two are related…” says blogger Nat Case. Not a lot of maps, here, but thinking and commentary on “why map?” and “what is mapping?” One of the few blogs I print out to read away from the screen.
High Earth Orbit, by Andrew Turner. I understand about 20% of what I read here, and have an inkling into about 20% more. The rest is mystery.
Making Maps: DIY Cartography, by John Krygier, professor of geography at Ohio Wesleyan. Lovely maps and data representations – charts, graphs – which are also cartography.
The Electoral Map. The intersection of politics and geography. The political junkie in me meets the mappie.

These are wonderful! And thank you for a magical night in your city. If you put a gun to my head, I couldn't tell you what I enjoyed more . . . the bistro, the church, or that wonderful little hole in the wall slice of old Copenhagen, the Bo Bo Bar.
Probably the bar . . . but it would be close.
Thanks again for one of the best nights I've had on the road in a long time. Look for Cindy and me to be visiting your island sometime in the next year!
