A Hacker Manifesto (by McKenzie Wark) "Hackers create the possibility of new things entering the world. Not always great things, or even good things, but new things. In art, in science, in philosophy and culture, in any production of knowledge where data can be gathered, where information can be extracted from it, and where in that information new possibilities for the world produced, there are hackers hacking the new out of the old. Hackers create these new worlds, yet we do not possess them. That which we create is mortgaged to others, and to the interests of others, to states and corporations who monopolise the means for making worlds we alone discover. We do not own what we produce -- it owns us... http://www.purselipsquarejaw.org/2004_09_01_blogger_archives.php#109632081351516342 A Hacker Manifesto offers a systematic restatement of Marxist thought for the age of cyberspace and globalization. In the widespread revolt against commodified information, McKenzie Wark sees a utopian promise, beyond the property form, and a new progressive class, the hacker class, who voice a shared interest in a new information commons."

ASCII Maps : http://www.asciimaps.com/ (over Google Map or Hyrid) as you drill down into the map and the ASCII changes into more detailed closeup maps.
Dynamic zoom window (Google Maps) : http://maps.google.com has added a small window in the lower right corner of the map window (that can be hidden) which allows you to dynamically reposition your current view.
IvyGIS : http://ivygis.justec.co.in/ (by Robert Thau) is a Rails engine which connects to MapServer and PostGIS databases and can display Google Maps-style views. Here is a demo that uses the SVG display feature of Firefox 1.5+ to overlay geometries obtained from the PostGIS server on top of MapServer image tiles

"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainty." — Erich Fromm
"I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker." — Helen Keller
"I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question... Does this path have a heart? The trouble is nobody asks this question; and when a man realizes he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. For me there is only the travelling on paths that have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking breathlessly." — Carlos Castenada, from The Teachings of Don Juan

Google Maps API Tutorial : http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/googlemaps/reference.htm reference to all the objects, classes, properties and methods that are accessible in the API
MapStudio : http://www.jdsport.com/index.html?dir=/dir/Orienteering/Technology/index-2-587-7415-0-0-.html is a set of orienteering symbols for Adobe Illustrator that helps you draw high-quality orienteering maps.
Cairo : http://cairographics.org/ is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of PostScript and PDF. This website is a wiki. If you'd like to experiment with it, please play in the sandbox.

Very Large Scale Information Retrieval : http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/tts/papers/hawking.pdf
Topic Maps (another standard also based on XML) have: topics * relations (between the topics)* instances. Topic maps allow us both to build thesauri and faceted metadata. However, we still have to wait for the interface that benefits from browsing through Topic Maps. The Omnigator from Ontopia is a Topic Map browser. However, the Omnigator does not enable the user much more than any other website.
The Aspen Movie Map : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_Movie_Map allowed the user to take a virtual tour—travel surrogately—through the city of Aspen. It is an early example of a hypermedia system.
