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 husband's name, my children’s names, their spouses’, and my grandchildren’s. Even though I never buy one, the search itself is satisfying. It's a frivolous little hunt where the prize is recognition. And now, to see my name in geological forms from a NASA website...well that's downright cool!

When your name shows up, hover the cursor over each image and its location will appear.
D - Lake Tandou, Australia
I - Borgarbyggð, Iceland
A - Yukon Delta, Alaska
N - São Miguel do Araguaia, Brazil
E - Fern-filled Fjords, Tibet
I missed that in the Times. I'll have to go back and find. It looks like fun.
