Maps from 1825

I came across these maps at work, interestingly enough. They are part of a virtual exhibition about old schoolhouses and old schoolbooks.

The book that these particular maps came from is called:
A New Universal Atlas of the World, on an Improved Plan: Consisting of Thirty Maps, Carefully Prepared from the Latest Authorities with Complete Alphabetical Indexes.

Incredible.

Here's a home video of Disneyland in 1956, one year after it opened. The music makes for very enjoyable viewing.

I've been posting a lot of videos lately, maybe I should switch it up a little...

This video makes me incredibly happy. It's a number of happy people dancing to "Lisztomania" by Phoenix in this sensational John Hughes/Breakfast Club style.
