An Interactive Guide to The Simpsons’ Springfield

This is amazing! It’s an interactive map of Springfield that a fan put together. Click anywhere on the map to zoom in - the black text represents retail stores and the pink text represents restaurants. If you hover your mouse over the green boxes, you can view a screen cap of that particular building.

I can’t imagine the time it must have taken to put this together! Even if you don’t care that much about the map itself, it’s worth it just to go through and read the clever names of some of the establishments - the Texas Cheesecake Depository cracks me up.

Spam Maps

Posted by GeekAlerts in Arts & Crafts on November 4, 2007 at 1:08 pm

Filipino American artist Michael Arcega has created a series of maps made of Spam luncheon meat.

Spam was used as ration by the United States Armed Forces during WWII. It ultimately spread through many Southeast Asian nations as a standard source of meat. Spam’s diasporic nature is symbolic of America’s ongoing influence on many nations. S-P-A-M is M-A-P-S in reverse.
