Today is hexagon day for the #30DayMapChallenge. Excited to head down to see family in Orlando next week for Thanksgiving and hoping we can fit in some manatee viewing time.

Surprise stoat! #art #sketching #animals #pen #stoat #doodle

If disaster does not strike, on Friday we are launching the largest houseboat ever to float on the Loire river. This is a very accurate drawing of what it looks like. Photos will follow - we hope.

Day 10 - Bad Maps

Tried to shoehorn as much bad as I can in one map. While nothing "in the wild" goes this far, too many of these attributes are still easy enough to find.

- Colorblind-unfriendly color scheme
- Too many symbol classes
- Numeric attribute visualized on polygons
- North arrow and scalebar for a non-navigation map
- Parallel street labels with no halo

And it pains me to admit it, but the streets come from #OpenStreetMap, and I didn't provide attribution. Bad!

#30DayMapChallenge - Day 7 - Raster

I've been wanting to try following Daniel Coe's REM tutorial for awhile now - Figured this is the best time to try! I couldn't get mine as pretty as his though!

Not your keys not your coins

Is anyone else having a really bad dwarf infestation this fall? I swear, it gets cold and the little devils come swarming into the cave. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't already eaten enough them to give me indigestion. I suppose I could try canning…

Musk claiming that a lot more people are engaging on Twitter is like me claiming that a lot more people are stopping by to look at my new house after I set it on fire.

Enemies to lovers

Just got a msg saying that Google are 'sunsetting' an analytics function. What an utterly bloody pointless bit of euphemism! I mean, sure, lie to the kids about where the hamster ended up but do we *really* need to be protected from the wrenching emotional impact of a bit of code going out of date.

Admit it, Google. You took it down to the end of the paddock with the shotgun and a shovel.
