[talk-ph] Save the date! July 23 Mapping Party in southwestern Makati!

2011-07-03 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
Hi guys,

Our next Metro Manila Mapping Party will be on July 23, Saturday. This
time we will be tackling southwestern Makati, namely the portions of
Makati southwest of SLEX. This includes portions of Magallanes,
Bangkal, Pio del Pilar, San Isidro, and Palanan:

There's lots of oneway streets here to confirm as well as tons of POIs
to collect. The probably meet-up place in the morning would be
somewhere in the Magallanes commercial area.

You can also just attend the afternoon meetup if you want to. :-)

For those on Facebook, here's the event page where you can RSVP:

Re: [talk-ph] The navigation system in our brains

I like this, I myself remember directions and roads like I have an 
overhead map of the area and usually dont forget. On the other hand my 
wife has no idea where to go even if we go to a certain area every day.

Hi guys,

Here's an interesting article from 2009 showing how our brains help us
to navigate the world and why there are people who can get so
hopelessly lost.

I guess most of us in the list have a natural talent for spatial
navigation (instead of cue-stimulus-based navigation)? :-)
