Visiting Every Latitude and Longitude Intersection 265
Kevin A. Pieckiel writes "The Degree Confluence Project's goal is to visit every latitude and logitude degree integer intersection in the world and journal it on this web site. An excerpt: 'The project is an organized sampling of the world. There is a confluence within 49 miles (79 km) of you if you're on the surface of Earth. We've discounted confluences in the oceans and some near the poles, but there are still 12,889 to be found.' A neat project, indeed." As Timothy noted, I've posted before, and in Slashback form; a while back.

It shows that, despite all the sprawl and overpopulation of the 20th century, most of the Earth is still not paved over with freeways, slums, or hamburger stands. Which is nice to know.

This project is clearly an entirely appropriate use of resources, as is the idea of having a space program, if you're a genuine nerd.
