I made a little web app that might interest your readers now that temperatures are dropping and Christmas festivities are beginning: It’s a map of (currently dublin-centric) pubs that have a nice warm fire inside. I’m looking for more pubs to add and can be contacted via Twitter.

Bike theft is a big and growing problem in Dublin. While only 4,500 bikes were reported stolen in Dublin in 2013 we know there is a big under-reporting problem and we estimate that the real figure was around 20,000. The information you will provide in this survey [link below] will be invaluable in helping us design a plan, in conjunction with the Gardai, City Council, City Planners& Bike trade, to tackle the problem

Full image and key here.
Unmappable films like Wall-E and Monsters Inc appear in an inset. Elsewhere, following furious pedantry on Reddit and DeviantArt, Smith clarifies:
1. Movie was placed based on the location IMPLIED IN THE DISNEY/PIXAR VERSION
2. If the movie was too vague to determine a location, the original story/myth was consulted.
In 2010, world traveller Bill Passman had a blank map of the world tattooed on his back with a view to colouring in the countries he’d already visited [pic2] (and all those he’s visited since [pic3]).
He visited Ireland (and Norway) in the Summer of 2007.
Passman is currently working his was through India, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Not one but two shaky bridges.
“Two researchers, [former Trinity College lecturer] Mark Graham and Stefano De Stabbata, at the Oxford Internet Institute, have depicted the world’s “Internet empires” in a map, above. The map shows each nation’s most popular website, with the size of nations altered to reflect the number of Internet users there.”
“The map makes for a brief, informative look at how geographic—and universal—certain web tastes and habits are.”
They also created this old timey map-style, below:
