I love maps. When I was in fifth grade, our teacher told us all we would get to spend time on a hobby. I had no hobbies (all I did was read, and reading was not going to count as a hobby) so I decided that mine would be maps. This was related to my desire to travel everywhere in the world some day. I didn't quite know what to do with this hobby, so I made a copy of a map of Australia. I think my teacher was disappointed, but I enjoyed it.


This Social Network map (2010) below, by Ethan Block  is a tribute and is an updated version of the hilarious xkcd map of Online Communities, , which in turn is a modification of the highly entertaining xkcd a 2007 map
