Jamaican that up

If you had plans for a tropical island vacation, better check your reservations. Google Maps says that all Jamaica is temporarily closed.

Today, while reading an article in the New York Times about Walt Whitman, I came across an map of Fort Greene Park.
The map shows a boys playground, and a girls playground. We had separate playgrounds when I was in elementary school, too. I thought it was a Catholic school nun thing. I guess it was just a normal part of society, if old-fashioned.
Sometimes if I canʼt sleep, I like to scroll through Apple Maps and see what can be seen. On this particular night, I found a flock of birds near NASA. They look like egrets or something similar to me.
This is what happens when your mapping database doesnʼt have coordinates for a town. It puts the town in Kansas.
In this case, the New York Times map jammed Newton, New Jersey in the middle of Kansas. It probably thinks other towns are there, too.
Never trust any data. Always check for NULL and improbable values.
If anyoneʼs looking for a doctor online and the maps donʼt match up with the addresses… yeah, thatʼs my fault. Render faster, ya pile of crap!
I feel like I should feel bad about maxing eight cores for 10 days straight. But when you gotta render maps, you gotta render maps!
