So hypothetically if I made karaoke style subtitles for a movie so that viewers could do a live fan dub, would it be funnier to do this to Titanic or Goodfellas

observablehq.com/@lifewinning/ sort of a hack but here is the cross-hatched hillshade map visualizations with cross-hatch bodies of water--because of the particular complexity of the river I'm using as an example I tesselate the water polygons but in theory you might not have to for a basic shoreline or something. Also yes, it loads super-slow sorry

Sat next to a sleepy little corgi on the subway home, NYC is back baby

@geomob @jachym ah hadn't thought of that--maybe let's check back in the fall once I'm a little more into the project

@geomob @jachym yeah let's check back in like a year? I literally just got the money, probably more interesting when I've collected interviews &c

@richlv @geospacedman yes! would very much like to avoid academic geography's weird tendency to treat OSM and open source mapping stuff as some weird alternate dimension of GIS

@geospacedman I'm looking a bit more at the industry side than government but user stories and gov adoption is certainly relevant

Maybe it's a good time to mention that the grant I got for my PhD research is a project collecting documents and oral histories of GIS software development. Materials collected will eventually be accessioned to the Computer History Museum. If you work/have worked on GIS tools (web mapping is part of it!!) I would love to talk to you!!

Every time ProPublica drops a "Supreme Court justices being corrupt fools" story even if Justin Elliott didn't work on it I imagine him starting the day with a little smile
