    If you're here to see my maps, writings, talks, resources etc then visit links.esri.com/mappyhour. My books are available at amazon.com/stores/Kenneth…. Feel free to stay for various rambling thoughts (mostly) about #cartography. Also on Bsky and Threads using the same handle.

    Fair bit of data wrangling but finally...a 1 dot = 1 vote dasymetric dot density 2016 Presidential election map from @ArcGISPro. 65,844,61 blue dots. 62,979,636 red dots. Count 'em! (note: this is just a rough screengrab, will webify & make pretty)

    The National Library of New Zealand pulled out the world's largest atlas "Earth Platinum" for #geocart2022 delegates. Wonderful rare opportunity to get up close with this spectacular piece of work and its chief cartographer Roger Smith on hand to discuss its creation.

    Possibly the first time a 3D chart has ever worked.

    I've seen 35 managers in my time supporting #nffc. Only 5 have been good fits. Clough. Clark. Hart. Davies I. Cooper. Let's give this man the time he's earned. He gets it. He's one of us. #COYR 🌳🔴

    In response to suggestions: my #Ukraine refugee dispersal map which adds negative space in the colour fill within the border to reinforce idea of displacement into neighbouring countries (and a note about dots being indicative). More dramatic but perhaps too much? #cartography

    Update to my illustrative #Ukraine refugee map. Adds more displaced grey dots to major populated areas. Adds same stippled symbology to Russian incursion to indicate fuzziness of invasion (neither lines nor areas). #cartography #StandWithUkraine 💙💛

    Final attempt to map #Ukraine refugee crisis more empathetically through permeable borders ??? No arrows No symbol units Indicative quantity Relative densities Random placement More organic Greater spread = more Colour = Ukranian diaspora Outward flow & dispersal #cartography

    Couple weeks ago I mentioned I'd heard some terrific news. I can now share. My long-awaited (by me at least) new book #ThematicMapping is being released soon by @esripress. You can peruse a flipbook preview here: go.esri.com/thematic-mappi… Excited as I am? Let me know! #EsriUC

    "If I do a job in 30 minutes, it's because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes" certainly resonates with respect to #cartography. Experience & expertise counts for a lot. It's worth a lot too.

    #mapsathome Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands by Judith Schalansky is just the most delightful of books. Beautiful maps, layout and whimsical details.

    So @HamillHimself has liked 2 of my tweets. I represent a galaxy-busting 0.001% of all his likes but I bet he doesn't remember #ILikedTheTweet

    I just realized I've "liked" over 178,000(!) things on Twitter since 2010. I have never liked even close to that many things in real life, which is too bad, because if I had, I think I'd be a much happier person. #PleaseLikeThisTweet

    I really like this @BBCNewsGraphics chart of new confirmed #coronavirus cases. Spatial and temporal trends in a well organised visual system. No map is often the best map.
