Yesterday, The New York Times shared a fun link that lets you spell out your name using images shaped by Earth’s geography, all drawn from satellite views. It’s a reminder that even something as familiar as your own name can feel new again.
There’s something enjoyable about seeing your name out in the world. When you're in a souvenir shop, do you find yourself hanging around those racks of license plate keychains looking for your name? I do. Then I hunt for my children’s names, their spouses’, and my grandchildren’s. Even though I never buy one, the search itself is satisfying, a frivolous little hunt where the prize is recognition. And now to see my name in geological forms on a from a NASA website is downright cool!
