Ok first I know this thread has been done already with the idea being a map was to be made but apparently it kinda died. I'm willing to give it a shot but before I commit to such a thing I need some help first.

Can anyone find me a decent map of the U.S / Canada or Both?
By decent I mean.

Large enough so when I put where everyone is from on the map it's not all crammed into a tiny image.

Reasonably blank. I've searched and I keep finding maps with other junk all over it.

Secondly, since I'm just going to do a test to see if I can even do this, if I could start with;

10 Postal codes or Zip codes of where you live. So the first 10 members to give that to me I'll put on the map to see how it looks. I don't want to have everyone submitting their codes until I know what I'm taking on.

Any thoughts?
Lemmie know.

LOL Sorry. I haven't forgotten the rest of the world. My intention is to just start small and see what I can come up with.
Rest assured if this all works out everyone will be included.

BTW, if Postal or Zip is a little TOO close to home for you, the town state/province should be fine.
I'm using Yahoo maps to map it.
Thanks.

oh and btw dingolover

Just based on what you did for that Dog's Personal Ad page.. I bet your work will be fantastic!

Truee · 07-22-2004, 02:48 PM

Awwwwww shucks. Thanks Miss Lisa .

One idea I had was creating a powerpoint. slideshow. Start with the Doggies pic, then maybe the members pic then map of where they are rather than having one map with everyone on it. But the potential workload on that might resemble trying to bail out the ocean with a spoon.

The other idea is just using photo shop to place all the locations on it. I just don't know yet how or where it can be posted so people can see it. Might need to ask someone to borrow some webspace. If anyone out there has a personal page.

Can't wait to see what you come up with! I LOVED your personal ad work

MISS LISA · 07-22-2004, 03:05 PM

You are welcome!!

Sounds interesting, both of them.. I admire people that are that snazzy on the computer.. Can't wait to see what you decide!

Truee · 07-22-2004, 03:35 PM

Thanks. I guess because I can't be snazzy in real life I have to be snazzy on the computer.
Here's me NOT being snazzy!

...yes, that's a pack of gum in my mouth.

MISS LISA · 07-22-2004, 03:40 PM

HAHAHA.. OH MY GOD.. I just busted up laughing so hard. My co-worker was walking by and caught a glimpse.. and she actually STOPPED and said "What the heyyyy...." and turned back around. LOL.. That pic is too funny.. did you post a normal pic in the Photo Thread? Cause, other than those teeth, it looks like a pretty nice picture...

Truee · 07-22-2004, 09:49 PM

I did post in the let's see you forum but you can't really see me.
I'll post another picture there where everyone can see me better.

In the meantime, this will have to do.

Everyone LOVES a sharp dressed man.

Truee, you are going to be a big hit on this board!

I'm looking into getting you a map of the world pic. I work in publishing and we just did a social studies program, so I need to go on the servers and look up some images.
