@tylermw.com's skymodelr package is so rad. So incredible what we can do with just a bit of #rstats code in 2026. Made myself a lovely new macOS Dynamic Wallpaper with skymodelr and the (also great) equinoxmac.com app.

Thanks to feedback, here's rivers and subbasins of the Great Lakes, take two. I'd mistakenly excluded Canadian lakes in my earlier render. Also took the opportunity to add more rivers. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

if anyone in R or Python ever thought "gee I'd like to contribute to GDAL", I'm here to help you get started can guide you through good approaches, what to think about, and what's bare minimum for a bug fix or feature PR, and the python and C++ tooling you will need (speaking linux)

The Tufte LaTeX class is pretty, but it hasn't been updated for years and doesn't work with well with Quarto/lualatex. But with #QuartoPub you can replicate it on your own in HTML/PDF with just a little bit of customization with CSS and some preamble-y things! github.com/andrewheiss/...

Rivers and lakes of Wisconsin. I see the broken linestrings...turns out it takes more effort than I anticipated to resolve. I can fix the entire river, but it breaks when I intersect. Would appreciate any suggestions. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

Land cover of India. This was edifying. I had no idea so much land was devoted to crops. I mean, I sorta knew but seeing it this way really hammered it home. This was also the render that drove me to pure GDAL for raster operations. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

gdal is at least an order of magnitude faster than R. I will remember that from now on.

These broken linestrings after I intersect are testing the limits of my patience and ability.
