I was hoping to see what he learned was projections. Still better than no map on the wall. The style looks lovely at this scale! I would have made my own map from NE and OSM data but not everyone knows how much great data is available for f

Accessibility for 1% can be a pressing issue if you consider your site/service as something important and you do not want to keep disabled users out. Just as food for thought. Letting the market force people away is not very social.
