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! 🌍🌎🌏

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.

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 👍

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? 😉

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

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 🤦
