check those concept maps out

the concept maps on dubberly are really cool. i am curious if they might be better in a thinner, vertical format though, because it’s hard to take in something you can only read the text at certain levels- like the DNS map. print is certainly superior for things like this.

interestingly enough, i was finishing a tufte book today and he made a point to say that if the data commands no shape to aim for a horizontal orientation. i think this is only applicable to print though, because the natural direction for viewing things on a web browser is up and down. get with the times, edward. (this could be relevent to the transferring to different media idea)
