What better way to celebrate #GISday than with a new and improved website! Please visit, leave a comment, and join our mailing list! We will not spam you! civicmapper.com

The @IJ Institute for Justice wrote a great letter to the @PaSenate opposing #HB609. They describe how creating #maps and #data about land is speech, and how laws like these threaten to violate the #FirstAmendment. You can read the full letter here: bit.ly/IJletterHB609

Just finished up the river flow project that I tweeted a video of a couple of days ago. It uses @USGS data to trace the path of a raindrop from anywhere in the contiguous US. You can give it a try here: river-runner.samlearner.com

@sam_learner @USGS Wow! This is fantastic!

@PetersonGIS @C8X8D We developed the Flush Map and used @ALCOSAN ‘s sewer atlas as the basis for the trace. See another deployment here flush-it.civicmapper.com

@C8X8D Oh right, that is a very cool one. I love how it's just blue lines and blue dots and, crucially, the blue dots have a white halo. (In this case, the halo is good even though I usually disparage halos.)

Anyone have a stellar water utility map to share? Something that shows the infrastructure in a nice way?

Check it out!

On the house floor again today. Just voted yes on HB609 which clears up language around continuing education and exemptions for engineers and land surveyors.

If you are a #GIS or #mapping practitioner in #Pennsylvania, you need to be paying attention to this legislation. #HB609 is bad for our industry and will affect jobs and innovation. Contact your representatives!

so excited pre-order for my new book from MIT PRESS Data Action: Using Data for a Public Good (How to Use Data as a Tool for Empowerment not Oppression) now available..mitpress.mit.edu/books/data-act…

#Pittsburgh artist Katy Dement created a set of these beautiful handmade paper maps for us of #Pennsylvania, our major #rivers, and #Appalachian valleys and ridges using paper from wasps' nests. #waterislife #geology #pennsylvania #geospatial #art #science #environment
