Internet on a map!

If I have a map of the internet, what will it look like?

do they have continents?

do they have different landscape?

what about the north/south poles?

All these question was never really on my mind, and actually, we can't even imagine if there's anyone on earth who can map the internet.. (well, that's what they said about Chris Columbus few decades back...)



Here, I present to you, the MAP...







English: Partial map of the Internet based on the January 15, 2005 data found on opte.org. Each line is drawn between two nodes, representing two IP addresses. The length of the lines are indicative of the delay between those two nodes. This graph represents less than 30% of the Class C networks reachable by the data collection program in early 2005. Lines are color-coded according to their corresponding RFC 1918 allocation as follows:
  • Dark blue: net, ca, us
  • Green: com, org
  • Red: mil, gov, edu
  • Yellow: jp, cn, tw, au, de
  • Magenta: uk, it, pl, fr
  • Gold: br, kr, nl
  • White: unknown


We are merely an address on the map... and it's not static some more...

It was a day to remember...

Their Wedding shoot.

At the famous 100-year-old Church of the Annunciation in Pengzhou, China. Pengzhou is located in the Sichuan province. It was morning May 12, 2008.

Very early morning May 12, photographer Wang went about preparing to shoot wedding pictures for a young couple, this was the test shot before the shoot...



And then it happened.... the earth quake! 7.8 on the Richter scale.

Bricks fall from the building during the earthquake, which turned Wang from a wedding photographer into a journalist..


'Thank God we were only shooting from outside the church!' remarked a helper.



The stunned couple huddles together at the church ground during initial tremors.



'I shouted to people, 'Run! Run!'' said photographer Wang Qiang. 'The ground shook and we couldn't see anything in the dust.'

As the dust began to clear, the true extent of damage was only beginning to appear...


A scarf from a wedding dress lies forgotten in front of the seminary.

Wang said he thought the catastrophe would strengthen the bonds of the couples who were there that day: 'Having gone through a life-and-death test, they surely will clasp hands and grow old together.'


No one was harmed at the above location.


They'll sure have a Wild story to tell there Children!
