The Internet map. The map of the Internet Like any other map, The Internet map is a scheme displaying objects’ relative position; but unlike real maps (e.g. the map of the Earth) or virtual maps (e.g. the map of Mordor), the objects shown on it are not aligned on a surface. Mathematically speaking, The Internet map is a bi-dimensional presentation of links between websites on the Internet. Every site is a circle on the map, and its size is determined by website traffic, the larger the amount of traffic, the bigger the circle.

Users’ switching between websites forms links, and the stronger the link, the closer the websites tend to arrange themselves to each other. Charges and springs To draw an analogy from classical physics, one may say that websites are electrically charged bodies, while links between them are springs. Springs pull similar websites together, and the charge does not let the bodies adjoin and pushes websites apart if there is no link between them. Semantic web The Internet Phenomenon.

"You will come to learn a great deal if you study the insignificant in depth. " - Buckaroo Banzai I used to keep a fairly detailed User Page here with a lot of information, but most of it ended up being redundant when I set up my personal website, so I've decided to stop maintaining this page and focus on that one instead.

Please feel free to visit with any questions or requests you may have. I love it when people use my photographs in their own projects, so the odds are good I'll be happy to help in any way I can. The image galleries below display all of the photos and illustrations I've uploaded to Commons, and are mostly here to help me keep track of what I've uploaded and what I haven't. If you need a particular image and you don't see it here, my e-mail address is listed on my site so you're welcome to drop me a line. I don't mind digging through the hard drive to see if I have anything that would suit your needs. Thanks for the interest, and have a great day.
