import writes: Information visualization is essential in making sense out of large data sets. Often, high-dimensional data are visualized as a collection of points in 2-dimensional space through dimensionality reduction techniques. However these traditional methods often do not capture well the underlying structural information, clustering, and neighborhoods. GMap is an algorithm that turns these information into geographic maps, which are intuitive to most people. Using GMap algorithm and the OpenLayers library for map navigation give an interactive system for exploring the landscape of relations.

Around the year 2000, I'd been walking home from school one day and some guy had a 660AV on his doorstep so I rang his bell and he gave it to me. He said it was broken but all it needed was a battery. I played around with it, oooh ahhh retro mac with video, I said. Ultimately, it left my hands along with a IIci, a IIfx, a 610, and a couple 6100s for a couple cases of beer.
