I am going to be making maps for a photo book for my trip to Japan last year on a live stream. I will be making watercolor style maps in a mix of ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Photoshop, Lightroom, Inkscape, and Affinity Publisher.

Live stream on Tuesday on YouTube:

Um 15 Uhr beginnt mein Talk auf der FrOSCon zur Demokratisierung digitaler Karten in HS 1/2: https://programm.froscon.org/froscon2025/talk/e4b13d17-e32d-4de0-876e-1725de30a281/

Germany has a lot of roads called "Sackgasse" (dead-end road).

However, some of them have no dead ends at all. What a scam!

I've challenged myself to find them and used the resulting #Overpass query as an example in my workshop today at @FrOSCon.

(the query may need a minute to execute)

I have added a lot of comments to explain how it works, and I have added it to the example queries in the #OSM wiki.

Did you know you can now find all streamgages and streamflow measurement locations in #Arizona in one place? Holland Elizabeth Goodrum Sterling provides an interactive online map of virtually every gage in the state, empowering smarter water resource management.

>While House Democrats in Chicago, plus some in New York, seem willing and able to withhold their numbers for the remaining weeks of this first 30-day special session, all that would do is delay the inevitable. In order to truly throw a wrench in the GOP’s machinations, Dems would likely have to keep their quorum break going through November, when the state opens up candidate filing for the 2026 elections.
>
>That would require maintaining an organized quorum break of more than 90 days—easily the longest in Texas history—through possibly three special sessions and under more punitive political conditions than ever.

90 days? That's it? That's peanuts.

>But Senate Democrats including Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were unmoved and the federal legislation did not budge. Meanwhile, as the days and weeks dragged on, Texas Democrats in exile grew weary, increasingly fractured, and eager for a political off-ramp.

It's not peanuts for Dems though. Absolutely spineless.

Can we *please* move to shortest-splitline districting? Expecting politicians not to gerrymander is laughable.

Elevation-aware routing can help you seek or avoid challenging paths for bicycles, pedestrians, etc.

And we make it easy to return elevation data for each leg of your route.
