Found Object #8

My presentation format for the exhibition on 28 Oct is going to be 1 sheet A1 print plus a interactive flash website

A preview of the A1 map.
I would prefer to hide the geographic boundaries on the printed map, showing only the north point and scale.

And the flash website (still in progress) would be something looks like this. By clicking on each dot, an information box pops up and visitors can read the story, locate the item on Google Map or make a comment on this blog.
I will try to make the category buttoms work so visitors can choose which subcategory to look at. Also they will have the choice of viewing with the geographic boundaries on/off
