I like maps, GIS, data visualization, graphic design, hiking, writing, and hanging out in nature. I wrote a book, GIS for Dummies (2nd Edition).

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Can Men Help the Climate by Eating Less Meat?
The link between masculinity and meat has long shaped men’s identities. Could redefining these norms help reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

I spent most of the day scribbling out notes to frame a presentation into a cohesive thread. And now I'm spending all evening working on just the title slide.
This is why I start with pen and paper before I open up PowerPoint. Frame the story before getting into the tech.

I was so excited to see this white-nosed coatimundi backyard that I named him Carl.
Carl has appeared the past 3 days. Today he made short work of the bird feeders.
Carl is not welcome any more.

I'm so confused - Trump admin has made it clear they don't like Federal Employees yet they now granted them 2 additional holidays - Christmas Eva and the day after Christmas. Is this an attempt at buying their loyalty? Won't work.

Got bumped from a speaking engagement. I sort of saw this coming, but I wish they had been more upfront with me.
On the other hand, now I have a great outline for a presentation on communicating with data. Maybe I'll turn it into a free webinar.
