what have you used it for so far?
I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.

Nothing. Having only discovered it yesterday, refreshed my self with the fact it is only 3 years old and was born of Kenyan violence, I can tell you the sole thing I have used it for is to cover the gaps in event history that eclipse the last publication date of TWMDP's

Really the hope was for other people to possibly find some use for it , or to just pass it along to those that might, or for others to merely marvel at the technology ,,..I wonder now if they had seen the LATIMES gang land shootings Google map and felt "inspired".

Western protesters and rioters against corporate hegemony and eclipsing of democracy had a similar tool used to keep track of and stay ahead of marching riot quelling police.

Have you ever been an agent provocateur coldharvest?

wow, that's actually supercool. could be used to coordinate protests in wisconsin, or in the middle east. and i bet swain could make some use of it (say, mapping incidents and who needs supplies at whatever place, etc). and the atlanta crime maps were fascinating, would definitely be a good tool for something like a neighborhood watch.

you tell em you feeling like something important died screaming
you tell em you feeling like something even more important arrived breathing
something you should probably try feeding
