Stuff and MapSense

This is a cool map of temperatures in Albany. http://www.albany.edu/~msz03/test/albany_temp.gif is where you can see the original. Each cell is a record of the average temperature in Albany. What a great way to represent the data. It goes back for years. The pattern, though not a surprise, is well documented in this format. I am not sure that it is a choropleth map in the way that they have been defined in this class, (this is not a representation of the town of Albany) but the color is used in the same way to represent values and the pattern is very clear. It's a hybrid-type thing maybe. Although, when intelligent, creative people are working it's hard to say what will happen to old definitions.
