A quick escape to the Driftless to explore streams and valleys by myself reminded me that I need to do it much more often. Tree frogs singing at night, birds, geology, spring fed streams, and some trout.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Re-learning Norsk, and my current favorite word is “Sykepleier”. Not because of the definition (a nurse), but I love the way that it sounds.

Advocating the use of open, well known licenses for geospatial data for a large org. Specifically public domain CC0 or PDDL. Does anyone have good examples for states or counties? #opendata #gischat

I'm on the hunt for QGIS users in Aotearoa New Zealand – if you or your business uses QGIS let me know! There are a few of you out there and a big opportunity to network, learn and grow.

The Strib gave half a page to an anti-fluoride guy who tampered with municipal water infrastructure under the header of Public Health. Can’t wait for ’The Plague, not as bad people say it was.’
