#30DayMapChallenge Day 7: 10 minute map I made this using Keynote, Mac's version of powerpoint using basic shapes. It took 8 minutes. I decided to go back in to rotate Erie a bit so now 10 minutes. This could have also been under the upcoming categories of new tool or is this a map?
Day 6 #30DayMapChallenge: Vintage. Payphones in Tokyo's 23 wards. Of 1,863 recorded in OSM, only 218 have been confirmed still standing since 2021. Styled after old Japanese city maps, red dots are confirmed phones. #vintage #Tokyo #rstats #dataviz #cartography #OpenStreetMap
Vintage day is one of my favorite #30DayMapChallenge days! Some good stuff out there bsky.app/hashtag/30Da...

In another, non-geo part of my life my new album just dropped on Bandcamp! In a few weeks it will show up on the streaming services but there's a Christmas rush so they're backlogged. douggreenfield.bandcamp.com/album/spare-... enjoy, if possible.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 1: Points The Great Lakes as a constellation-with the actual names of the lakes not the stupid names that were quickly adopted by the spineless tech bros at Apple and Google
#30DayMapChallenge Day 0: Last year I did the Gulf of Mexico. This year it's personal! I live part time by the shores of Lake Ontario now. For some incompetent fool in the ruined White House to give it some stupid name and for Apple and Google obeying in advance, November will be my tiny protest.
For yesterday's #MapoftheWeek I suggested that someone might be able to make a nice interactive map of the Hiroshige view of Edo. @stevenfeldman.bsky.social took me up on the challenge with impressive results. Here is a bog post follow -up mapoftheweek.substack.com/p/hiroshige-...

Update to yesterday’s post.

I love me some Japanese woodblocks and a non-digital map. Here's one of Hiroshige's 100 Views of Edo #MapoftheWeek mapoftheweek.substack.com/p/map-of-the...
Map of the 100 Famous Views of Edo
100 Famous View of Edo is a series of woodblock prints of Tokyo by Japanese artist Hiroshige. Edo is Tokyo’s historic name.

Meant to #gischat this. Also the wordy activity often involves wishful thinking
Doug Greenfield@douggreenfield.bsky.social · 2w agoCurrently I'm waging a battle with the forces that be about whether we really need the full names of buildings and parks (such as the [insert full name here with middle initial] Center for [insert incredibly wordy activity]) on a tight map or can we just shorten it somehow?

Remeber this map when the Repubs complain that they culdn't possibly have lost the House without fraud
Karim Douieb@karimdouieb.bsky.social · 2w agoSo every seat gets the same space here. Seat by seat (@cookpolitical.com): 214 favor Democrats, 200 favor Republicans, 21 toss-ups decide the majority.
A quick slice from the upcoming Twin Cities in 50 Maps! @jakesteinberg.com put together a site where visitors could draw their own borders for the much-disputed Uptown. This depicts the responses! (I’d love to see this approach for more areas, honestly!) More info on the book: tinyurl.com/p8zvv4w9

Kind of ironic that the car that almost sideswiped me on my bike on my way home yesterday was a "courtesy car"
Typical peak foliage: the North Shore around Oct 3, the Twin Cities around Oct 16. Timing from 25 years of NASA MODIS phenology, checked against USA National Phenology Network observations; color from USDA Forest Service tree species maps. #fallfoliage #Minnesota
My childhood home in the Philly burbs is blurred out on Google Street View. However, you can see it fine on the Apple Maps "look around" feature. I'm really tempted to take a screen shot of it and post it to Google Maps.
