The launch of the GeoEye-1 satellite by GeoEye (formerly Orbital Imaging Corporation or ORBIMAGE), a commercial satellite imagery company based in Dulles, Virginia, marks the coming of higher resolution maps in the internet.
Until now there has only been maps of commercial imagery 60 cm, but with GeoEye-1, google will get details of objects of size 50 cm (though the satellite can get 41 cm images). Thus we will be getting clearer maps of the places around us.

As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
