I happened to run into this site Flowing Data, which looks like it takes on some interesting mapping ideas. They have two projects which show the spread of WalMart and Target across the country. Comparing them shows some interesting decisions in their spread; it seems like Walmart moved outwards from it's initial base in Arkansas and saturated new markets, whereas Target aimed to go to mostly any major market in the Midwest before expanding outward. Click below for each project:

Main Page and About Me Updated
I made a number of edits tonight to the website. The About Me page was revised and updated. I also made changes to the format of the main page, changing the banner, and some font issues below. I still cannot figure out how to get IE to recognize the iframe for the webcams. Firefox is showing them correctly. When I make the next update I will likely move the travel map into the Maps. A few other code changes need to be made. I need to work on standardizing the css tags in a separate file.
