#30DayMapChallenge Day4: Hexagons! Courtesy of data.gov, a hexbin of fire ignition points in the Continental US from 2020-2024. Lots of ignition points in near Phoenix for some reason. Made with deckgl!

#30DayMapChallenge Day 5: A Journey! I had a long bike ride with friends this Sunday, so I pulled down the Strava GPX file, and animated it in KeplerGL. It looks like a snake moving through #sandiego! Color is by elevation

#30DayMapChallenge Day 6: Raster. Manual Shaded relief of the contiguous United States from NaturalEarth. Whether today is a day for you to be happy or a day for you to be sad, let this serve as a reminder that when you zoom out, we're all in this together.

🌍 #30DayMapChallenge Day 7: Vintage Map Starting with a historic Lewis and Clark map, I created a custom style, then added 3D terrain and atmospheric effects. The result? A vintage-inspired San Diego / Baja view with a modern twist. What do you think—is it vintage enough?

Happy Friday! For #30DayMapChallenge Day 8: A map from HDX, I wasn't really sure. So I decided to map world flood events from 1985-2010, as a reminder that no matter where you live, you can't escape the changing climate.

Happy Saturday! Today for #30DayMapChallenge, we will make an AI map. I used stable diffusion 3, and prompted for a map of San Diego with exaggerated mountains, and 3d side view. While the map is beautiful, it doesn't look like San Diego. But hey, I'd live here.

Haven't used twitter for a few years and just coming back now. Trying to figure out how the algorithm works. Do I basically just need to post stuff that will make people made in order to get my tweet seen? Would love any advice

Running a bit late for #30DayMapChallenge Day 11: A Map of the Arctic! This is a map of settlements in the arctic circle as of 2017. It was really difficult to use a standard projection here, so I used the "World Azimuthal Equidistant" projection to actually visualize the area.

It's almost 2025. We have AI that in some cases is almost indistinguishable from humans. So why do spam calls still sound like...spam calls?

I have a favorite meeting take-notes tool -> Granola. It doesn't do the annoying bot that joins your meeting, and augments your notes. Great interaction pattern and UI. Now it just needs an Obsidian integration. buff.ly/41xNcHM

If you're stuck, walk away. Don't sleep for 24 hours, and then give yourself 30 minutes to solve it. You will likely succeed, with 10 minutes to spare. You're too exhausted to think in multiple threads. Which means you're too tired to have self doubt. But it works.
