Maps and Immersion
I have always found maps beautiful. The colors, the lines, the stark contrast between land and sea, the strange shapes of the earth . . . but in a greater sense, knowing that what's represented are millions of people, the shape, and pattern of their lives, the boundaries of their worlds, the mountains and beaches they travel to see, shown in perfect clarity. As a young boy, I used to run my fingers over my grandfather's globe, imagining what it would be like to visit each place. I still do that.

A Deadwood Movie Is Potentially in the Works
Deadwood was one of the most popular shows on HBO and with good reason, it was one of the most compelling shows on TV at the time. The lives of the people who chose to live in the lawless South Dakota settlement of Deadwood were just damn interesting to watch and even the villains gained sympathy over time from the rabid fan-base, thanks, both to excellent writing and brilliant performances from the cast. So it's little wonder that when the show was canceled after just three seasons back in 2006 the fans were very vocal about their disappointment, especially as the show had left so many loose ends untied.
