@EdConwaySky Who was it a surprise to?

Surprise fall in UK GDP in Oct. The monthly numbers are always volatile but still, not great.

#30DayMapChallenge - hats off to my colleague Thomas for compiling all his 30 day map challenge maps into an amazing @Cadence_GIS_ story. Really great to see the diversity of the mapping over the last month: cadence360.cityscience.com/projects/cs536…

#30DayMapChallenge Day 30 - Make Over. I can't believe it is the final day of the challenge. I decided to do a make over of my maps from Day 28. Here are a couple of different versions, all in @Cadence_GIS_

#30DayMapChallenge Day 29 - Raster. Raster layer plus geojson oceans polygon. I was surprised how difficult it was to find easy-to-use open raster data, so will aim to sort that out in 2026. Nice to see the versatility raster brings to @Cadence_GIS_

#30DayMapChallenge Day 28 - "Black" Variations on a theme.

@MalvernianKarl I run a high tech business and 2 talented staff members, out of our 60 opted to move to New Zealand last year

New ONS migration data has British nationals broken down by age band for the first time. Around 53% of the net outflow is aged 16-24, and 46% aged 25-34. Goodbye, Nick (30)...

#30DayMapChallenge Day 27 - Boundaries. @Cadence_GIS_ makes it easy to copy whole packs of analysis from one location to another. Check out this video showing how a simply change in the Project Bounds enables you to copy your analysis to another location.

Day 26 of the #30DayMapChallenge with #Cadence. Today's theme: Transport. Cadence's intuitive interface makes creating maps like these easy, with tools like: Isochrones Stories Desire Lines Annotations Charts Learn more and get started: lnkd.in/ed4Jn_tJ

#30DayMapChallenge Day 26 - Transport. I didn't know where to start (or finish) today as there is so much transport functionality in @Cadence_GIS_ for both transport planners and modellers. So I just made a video to help introduce you to my Cadence Story: cadence360.cityscience.com/projects/cs536…

#30DayMapChallenge Day 25 - Hexagons Thank you @Cadence_GIS_ - with your in-built open data from the British Geological Survey, I am no longer scared of hexagons.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 24 - Places and their Names I live in a place called Exmouth which shares its name with Exmouth... Australia. Have a look at my interactive map highlighting 11 more places with naming links. What others can you spot? cadence360.cityscience.com/projects/cs536…

#30DayMapChallenge Day 22 - Natural Earth. Here's a @Cadence_GIS_ Story my daughter is working on looking at endangered animals: cadence360.cityscience.com/projects/cs536…

#30DayMapChallenge Day 22 - Natural Earth. Ever imagined paragliding off Mount Everest? Here's what it might look like with a satellite basemap.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 21 - Icons. Today I made a little map of the "Top 10 Pop Culture Icons of the 21st Century" based on an article from imdb. Have a look at the interactive map cadence360.cityscience.com/projects/cs536…. Create and share one yourself in @Cadence_GIS_

#30DayMapChallenge Day 20 - Water. I thought today I'd show the most important water feature learned in geography - the Oxbow Lake. Log into @Cadence_GIS_ , grab some cool basemaps, pick a region and see how many oxbow lakes you can find.

Check out the full Story here: cadence360.cityscience.com/projects/cs536…

#30DayMapChallenge Day 19 - Projections. As a non GIS expert, I shudder at the "projections" theme. That is one of many reasons we built @Cadence_GIS_ - to make things like projections easy. Instead, I've made a Story looking at shadows in a range of different @Mapbox basemaps

I rewatched The Big Short to remind myself that whatever is now written in retrospect, the overwhelming majority of macro analysts totally failed to predict the GFC in 2007/8. And once again I am being told there is no bubble to burst! Yeah right. m.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqG3I…
