Hello everyone!
There will not be a formal lecture today: your map critique projects are due, and your final map projects are due by Tuesday, March 14th. I have already started to receive some final map projects and am really impressed with the quality of your work.
I am marking your second tests now and will be getting your grades back to you soon. I should have your final grades posted on banner by Friday, April 17th.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Test 2 Review
Your Test 2 will be written this Thursday, April 2 from 11:30-12:30.
The format will be 2 short essays. You do not need to study the power point lecture notes for this test. The 2 questions will involve the two pdf readings that are on the class p:drive. You should read these before Thursday and be prepared to answer the following questions (no aids are allowed in the test):
1. Using the pdf document of the same name on the p: drive, briefly outline some of the key "milestones in the history of data visualization".
2. Using the cartographic journal article "More mapping, Less Cartography: Tackling the Challenge", describe the "challenge" that is being proposed by Cassettari.

Apologies folks, but there won't be class today...I am recovering from a mishap that involved my face and the pavement while I was in Toronto. I will be posting the review content for your test here by mid-day Tuesday. The test will still go ahead this Thursday, April 2.
E-mail me if you have any questions or concerns.

New and interesting sites and blogts
I just came across this blog tonight: it deals with interesting items related to Google Earth, including interactive maps, which we will be discussing in some detail in a future class.
I also discovered Geocommons, which could come in handy with some of your cartography projects. Watch out, this one is addictive (to a Geography Professor, anyway).
And finally, a blog called Off the Map is really well done and fantastic to browse through.

Class WILL be held today, although I know we are expecting bad weather into the day today and schools are cancelled. I will end class promptly by 12:20, as some of you may want to leave earlier than usual today.
Related to the weather, I follow Accuweather's Canadian weather blogger, who is a well-respected meteorologist: he often posts snow accumulation forecast maps, and his map for this event is rather interesting, showing much less in the way of accumulations for many areas than Environment Canada is saying. Only time will tell, and sometimes it doesn't take much to make a mess.
Snowfall Key:
Red: trace to 2 cm with more rain than wet snow
Gold: 2-8 cm
Green: 8-15 cm
Blue: 15-30 cm
The blue line: to the east will have a mix of snow and rain, with strictly snow to the west
