#30DayMapChallenge Day 10 Air...

A map of the top of my head, looking north. There used to be hair, but it's just air that's left these days.

Lily was a student in one of the last GIS cohorts I taught at Kingston University London around 2010. Today, 15yrs later and after forging a great geo-career in the UK, she joins the SoCal map factory. Small world! 🌍🌎🌏

Just received the 2026 Stanfords/BCS award winning book by James Cheshire. It's another corker!

According to our neighbour it'll soon be Christmas as his mega decoration frenzy gets underway. I should be grateful he had the courtesy to wait until November I guess. Only 53 days to go 🤦

I've just had the pleasure of one of the best ever airport announcements... "If you've just come through security and are missing your crutches please return to collect them".

So. Many. Questions. 🤣

My name is 3 letters long. Phonetically it's the same as it's spelt, and pronounced but I always spell it out anyway to avoid any possible confusion. I can't remember the last time I picked up a coffee for 'Ken' 🤦 I need a new coffee name. (Clean) Suggestions welcome.

Fore! My two "Golf of..." postcard maps are offering up wholesome toponym punnery in the #NACIS map gallery.

Better be careful I go to the right room at the #NACIS conference. Elsewhere in the venue there's linen nerds!

You can check out my 2024 US election map, and my tribute to Ozzy Osbourne in the #NACIS map gallery. Or see them online (and grab your own copy) at links.esri.com/mappyhour

I handed out marmite as part of my #NACIS talk on cartograms today. Love it, or hate it, there's nothing about it in the code of conduct 👍
October 15, 2025 at 10:22 PM
Yeah, it's #NACIS time...
October 15, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Well I guess I've arrived #mapsinthewild

Given I have zero interest in horses carrying people, bourbon, or baseball bats I have very little reason to go to Louisville KY. Hopefully there's enough mappy content at #NACIS instead. See you there if any other carto people are headed that way too 👍

Any chance we can push the @nacis.bsky.social conference back a week so I can catch a couple of concerts rolling into town? 😉

It's like the doughnut version of a party ring @karimdouieb.bsky.social Mmmmm!

The Europeans are having a ball at Bethpage. Here's a map to celebrate it all #rydercup

A cracking first day at the #RyderCup. Celebrate with my 'Golf of America' pictorial map of all the golf courses in the US. #Golf

You had me at #SKI2026 even though I ride a snowboard. Presumably members of The Commonwealth are admissible (asking for a friend).

This is not going to go the way you think. Fix the education system and there wouldn't be such a reliance on foreign talent. www.cnn.com/2025/09/19/p...

I yearn for the days you got on a bus, got in a queue, and bought a paper ticket to a gig you wanted to go to. These days everyone and their dog registers while they're sat on the pot. This 'random' nonsense means I'm not even allowed in the digital queue. #Radiohead

#Banksy stumping up to erase his own artwork is next level 🤣
BREAKING: They're scrubbing @banksy

The court is erasing Banksy's mural just like it's erasing our right to protest.

In Vancouver a couple of weeks ago the International Cartographic Association formally withdrew the 2027 conference from Tel Aviv due to the ongoing situation. It ratified Poland to take its place. Frying pan. Fire 🤦
