A successful weekend... Finished the lighting on my LEGO bonsai tree. It turns on and off with my computer. Lego power to motivate all of my map work. Attn: Dr. Dawn Wright + @deepseadawn.bsky.social 🇺🇦

Ooh, look at what amazing things showed up in the mail today? Thanks ＺＡＣＨ! #datafam rules

I have a kitchen helper today! Batman loves pie and Pi!

Happy Pi Day!

Best part of my day today...hanging out with Ken Flerlage!

Maps aren't a perfect reflection of the real world, and the spatial data we use to make them can be very messy, indeed. Sarah Battersby shares 4 common sources of error in spatial #data to help you fix them...or at least make peace with them!

Next year we need to print packs of map projection valentines. Everyone needs these, right? Web Mercator I have a confession, you are the perfect projection. ❤️

I've been using and learning about Figma this week...how did I not get into this earlier??? Guess there are up sides to having a lot of free time on my hands. All I want to do is make interactive prototypes all the time now.

I asked ChatGPT for an 'Edgy tweet':
Tired of being overlooked and underestimated. Cartography is an art and a science, and it's time for the world to recognize it as such. #cartographerlife #mapmakingmatters
(I think it should have just said 'periphery!') #mapProjectionsAreHard

I've been asking ChatGPT to draft tweets about maps this morning 😂 wondering if I should really embrace this and actually send them out. Maybe they'll make me sound super hip, edgy, and awesome. 🗺️🗺️ Definitely uses more emojis and hashtags than I usually do

Adding a visual reference related to my fun chat with ＺＡＣＨ... This is NOT a Mercator projection, thank you very much
