OpenStreetMap
Like I've mentioned in a previous entry, I wrote an article for a local newsletter that's distributed to around 7,000 homes and businesses. It's now actually in print! Of course I now see some things I'd do differently, but no changing that now. For the curious you can read the article on page 13 of the May issue, titled "Mapping Burke Centre":

Excellent! Engagement with the "real" community is something we should all do more of in our local areas.

A newspaper article in my newspaper The Seattle times is the reason I'm on OSM. Otherwise, I would have never heard of this awesome mapping feature.

What would you have done differently?

Little things, like provide a better custom render.
