What are some of the greatest contributions of SRTM? I'm looking for real world application, uses cases. Best lead so far is a 2011 "SRTM DEM and its application advances" that goes over some research papers + shows it was used in some natural disaster mapping The more specific the better

A few radar images made their way into Johnny Harri’s last video about War in Space And I couldn’t help but smile seeing my name in the corner there too!

Nearly 2y after its initial release my video on satellite images passed 100k views! 4 videos in this channel: 1 with > 50k 1 with > 100k 1 with > 500k Very excited so many people are interested about satellite images & maps

I'm looking for any info about how & why it was decided to use the Space Shuttle do create SRTM in 2000 A few questions I have: - How of the world had we mapped in 3D before 2000? - Why the Space Shuttle over a dedicate satellite (or pair of satellites) - How the data was processed

I’ve really been enjoying reading Mr Money Mustache’s back catalog of blogs over the last few months His latest today on the current status of the stock market is no exception. Great read: stay calm and stay the course, wild times are the norm www.mrmoneymustache.com/2025/02/25/s...

Wow, have you seen the stock market lately?

– And by lately, I mean the past several years or more.  The value of the S&P 500 index of stocks, where most of us hopefully have a good chunk of our retirement savings stashed into…

Sometimes, just sometimes, the world gives you what you secretly hoped for

My first demo of Fused to a live audience at @geomob.bsky.social London yesterday! Catching up a with familiar faces -and new ones- is always nice! It's nice to get some live feedback from people rather than doing everything online / remotely If you were present and want to follow up, hit me up!

I’m in London for Geomob London tonight! Managed to enjoy the sun while it’s out this afternoon If you’re in town and want to nerd out about maps & geospatial come along thegeomob.com/post/jan-30t...

@gregmilner.bsky.social big fan of your book PinPoint! I'd really like to have a chat but can't get a hold of you but I do see you're following me here so: Hi 👋 What's the best way to get in touch? 😄

I’ve listened to a bunch of podcasts with authors, but don’t remember any with editors Are there good conversations with editors talking about their craft? Helping others write better?

I'm doing more & more research on the history of GPS and I'm amazed by the official US Gov's dedicated website for GPS: gps.gov It's so old school it actually looks cool And it ends up quite easy to navigate (would have been ironic otherwise)

For the last few years I’ve taken some time to write about the past year around the new year period I like to take some time to think about work, relationships, health, finances, what I’ve spent my free time doing Do you do something similar? If it’s public send me your writing

Every once in a while I think about all the people out there working in projects that aren’t ready yet Movies, hardware, code, video games, books Things that will become a big part of people’s lives that don’t exist yet but people are working on today

Turns out spending half a year making a video about a game series leads to a lot of in game hours Most played game of 2024: FS2020 1/5th of all my playing time of the year on that 1 game

The AWS favicon looks a lot like the Vision Pro's Photo icon to turn 2D images into 3D Special thought to @davidimel.com: Is the cube the sparkles emoji of "spatial computing"?

I can’t believe I have to ask for this: Does anyone have good, basic iOS calculator app recommendations? Loosing the ability to do the same operation again by hitting = is a huge annoyance

I really enjoyed @kylebarron.dev 's interview on the CNG website about his background and then the usefulness of cloud native geo formats I've been looking for a good, concise resource to 1. read on and 2. send people to for "WHY" we need cloud native formats Any recommendations?

I have 2 main takeaways from my trip in NYC: - The city is way more billable that I expected. - Entrées are starters, not mains. It’s so confusing

If 'Minds Behind Maps' is in your #SpotifyWrapped this year, let me know! Thank you to everyone who's been listening the podcast this year!

Beautiful day to spend some time in New York! 👋

ESA has these cool ads in Amsterdam’s airport Makes me smile to see Sentinel 2 images in the airport But I have no idea why it’s branded as Ariane 6, when Ariane didn’t send Sentinel 2 🙃

This was a really informative read! My favourite part though:

Dan Baston from the GDAL project wrote up some interesting results of the first GDAL Users Survey which you can now read at gdal.org/en/stable/co...

I’m gonna go explore the world & map of Flight Sim 2024 in 30min Live on my YouTube channel Come hang out and nerd out about maps, airplanes and Flight Simulator www.youtube.com/live/jKeDH2n...

The main channel just passed 5k subscribers on YouTube!

@justinjackson.ca just saw your video about Bluesky, thanks for making it Is there a way you can share how to make a "Quiet Posters" feed? I'd really like something similar! I don't even know if this question makes sense, I haven't looked into customs feed to much yet

I'm not American, but want to wish all my US friends a great Thanksgiving I've tried to be more grateful in my life. It's is probably one of the simplest, highest net positive things I have done I can only respect a country that's celebrates a whole day around that Hope you all have a great day!

What are the best 1st pages of book you’ve ever read? I’m getting more & more interested in how people start stories and looking for inspirations Also goes for best 1min of movie you’ve ever seen? And why you liked it

I enjoyed watching this video! The title of the video makes me realize I loved "playing" at Flight Simulator not so much I dreamed being a pilot as I love exploring maps.

In a few days Flight Simulator 2024 is out You might think it's just another video game In reality it's the latest in a 40y+ series pushing the boundaries of graphics & mapping Let me tell you the Story of how Microsoft accidentally made the best map -> youtu.be/JIQxJWoKcPs
