This is a game changer to bring @Esri spatial intelligence into the @microsoft Fabric environment.
21 May 2024
We’re proud to announce that we're integrating our spatial analytics within @Microsoft Fabric. Soon, customers can generate insights from their own location data using ArcGIS tools and libraries in Fabric. 🔹Learn more: esri.social/esLL50RPS15 #MSBuild #ArcGIS #AI

A successful weekend... Finished the lighting on my @LEGO_Group bonsai tree. It turns on and off with my computer. Lego power to motivate all of my map work. Attn: @deepseadawn

New paper on cognitive and perceptual map projections research with my distinguished colleague @Fritz_Kessler 🌍 #mapProjectionsAreHard
Check out our recent article published in CaGIS @cartographyGIS focusing on cognitive and perceptual issues related to map projection research. Co-authored with my distinguished colleague Sarah Battersby @mapsOverlord tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Maps aren't a perfect reflection of the real world, and the spatial data we use to make them can be very messy, indeed. @mapsOverlord shares 4 common sources of error in spatial #data to help you fix them...or at least make peace with them! hubs.ly/Q01DwbRq0 #dataliteracy

Next year we need to print packs of map projection valentines. Everyone needs these, right? Web Mercator I have a confession, you are the perfect projection. ❤️
Every other geonerd is sharing the Bonne projection today but here it is re-projected into Web Mercator for all you conformal folks who prefer north to always be up, meridians to be parallel and equally spaced, and angles to be locally correct. Happy #ValentinesDay

I've been using and learning about Figma this week...how did I not get into this earlier??? Guess there are up sides to having a lot of free time on my hands. All I want to do is make interactive prototypes all the time now.

I asked ChatGPT for an "Edgy tweet": Tired of being overlooked and underestimated. Cartography is an art and a science, and it's time for the world to recognize it as such. #cartographerlife #mapmakingmatters (I think it should have just said "periphery!") #mapProjectionsAreHard

I've been asking ChatGPT to draft tweets about maps this morning 😂 wondering if I should really embrace this and actually send them out. Maybe they'll make me sound super hip, edgy, and awesome. 🗺️🗺️ Definitely uses more emojis and hashtags than I usually do

Adding a visual reference related to my fun chat with @ZachBowders... This is NOT a Mercator projection, thank you very much
Happy Wednesday it's Data Love time Sarah Battersby (@mapsOverlord) is a map GENIUS, and if you're like me you don't know nearly as much about maps as you think! spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e…

The start to 2023 has been challenging for me, as many friends here could guess... It has been a rollercoaster of emotions, and the amazing #DataFam (and friends) have been so supportive. There is no way that I can thank you enough for the kind words you have shared. ❤ (1/x)

I'm also excited about digging into Geographic Data Science with Python (geographicdata.science/book/…), and I have lots more learning about PostgreSQL and PostGIS to keep me busy... all the fun super nerd spatial stuff you might expect 😊(6/x)

At some point I'll start looking for my next adventure, but for now I may go mostly dark. Though, feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to chat spatial ...I'll check for messages periodically, but have notifications off. 😊(7/7)
