I was going to be doubly outraged that they used government funds to purchase my private data, but at least they only paid peanuts for it /s
The Airlines are selling our travel and credit card information to the government so they can track you. And the government does want you to know about it.

So excited about this! Digging out my art supplies...
I'm teaching a #maptimeDavis workshop tomorrow on drawing maps by hand! The whole point is just to have some fun. Ok, and maybe learn a little cartography. #gischat

I just saw the announcement of the schedule for UC Love Data Week and I love that so many of these workshops are for or applicable to spatial data. Partly I think it's just that spatial people are used to sharing and helping each other.

A favorite recent project: Peakscapes. I love the layered looks you get in the #mountains, and I always want to be able to name everything in view. These designs provide a cleaner, more idealized view of the landscape than a photo can.
Are they #maps? Or geographic art? I'm not sure.

Just uninstalled X. What a relief. I haven't used it in a year and yet it was hanging out here on my phone. Looking forward to the community we will build here and across other spaces.
