A key difference between visualizing non-spatial data and spatial data is that non-spatial data gives you the freedom to choose the locations of different objects.

Design is not a process, a way of thinking, and the outcome of not necessarily something visual

We are getting closer to the promise of custom maps for everyone, and we are already seeing personalized maps

[From the Archive] An Introduction To Artificial Intelligence

Friday Oct 28, 2022

For some time, there was hype around AI and data science and that they would solve all of our problems.

If you think AI solves every problem, then you’re overestimating its utility and where we’re at.

However, on the other side, if you’re a business of any size, operating at least some type of technology, and you think AI can solve none of your problems — you’re also mistaken.

We’re somewhere in the middle.

Daniel Whitenack, Data Scientist and host of the Practical AI podcast gives us a really great introduction to Artificial Intelligence and you don't need be a data scientist to understand it!

Connect with Daniel Whitenack here https://datadan.io/ or check out the Practical AI podcast

I Quit My Job

Thursday Sep 22, 2022

After 12 years of working as a GIS specialist / Consultant, I quit and I am ready to move on.

Looking back at the last 12 years if I could go back in time and give myself some advice I would tell myself these 8 things.

Boring Work won’t necessarily lead to interesting work
Getting good at something typical leads to doing more of that thing
Have more empathy for the professionals that you work with
Think more about where you are trying to go
Network
Find a mentor
Sometimes it's just not a good fit
You don’t get to decide what is broken

Things I need help with

Share the podcast with a friend, a community anyone that you think might find it interesting or helpful
I am looking for projects based on or around OpenStreetMap - this is part of a promotional campaign that I am doing together with OpenCage - More information here
