Using OSM in 2023 got me into even more fun mapping projects with OpenHistoricalMap.org. I started mapping using OHM on my town of Menlo Park. I learned to use several online sites for geo-referencing a variety of old maps.

Then I learned about Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps and started building and using geo-referenced data from OldInsuranceMaps.net.

Then I spent a few weeks in Bellingham, WA, so I did some mapping there, and then I started a big historic mapping project of New Orleans, LA in partnership with OldInsuranceMaps.net

I admit, I have a soft spot for New Orleans... it is a special place that is worth recording and preserving.

So school just started yesterday and I think this semester is going to be really fun! I'm determined to get all A's and continue to promote the Media and Public Health Act. More importantly, I need to resume doing acting things. I'm currently memorizing two monologues, and now I need to get an agent. I'm really excited, but I'm really anxious.
