When I found that &#8220;thisoldglobe.com&#8221; was available, it was just too much, so here I am with yet another blog.  <\/p>\n<p>So, welcome!  My name is Dan York.  I&#8217;ve been blogging for over 5 years and using the Internet in one form of another for about 20 years.  My main blog is <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.danyork.com\/\">http:\/\/blog.danyork.com\/<\/a> and you can find other information about me at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danyork.com\/\">http:\/\/www.danyork.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere along the way, I started to collect globes and now have about a dozen or two floating around the house in various sizes and conditions.  As a long-time lover of maps, it&#8217;s a fun hobby and quite interesting and educational.  (Did you know that the Italians once controlled part of Eastern Africa?  I didn&#8217;t, but do now.) In this blog, I intend to merely write down some of the things I see and learn about globes&#8230; and perhaps about some of the interesting ones I find as well.  I don&#8217;t know how often I&#8217;ll update it&#8230; time will tell.  In the meantime, enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was preparing to post an entry to my primary weblog about some recent globe purchases, I realized that: a) these postings had really nothing to do with the other stuff I talk about; and b) it might be a nice excuse to try out TypePad and the new ecto offline client I&#8217;d like [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danyork.me\/thisoldglobe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
