#GISChat So I am reading my first Terry Pratchett book: Hogfather and he has this to say about Cartography:

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.
Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

Thank you Michael!!
Thank you!
#GISChat Good Morning! I have accepted a position with the city of Aurora for the Senior GIS Analyst Position. I am looking forward to making this move to a new government agency.
#Bikesky I am thinking about getting a Smart Helmet for visibility and ease of turn signals. I am looking at Unit 1 Aura. My commute is 2 hours via bike or public transportation so being able to ride sounds like a better option for the warmer months.
Any insights regarding a smart helmet?
Thank you!
Thank you!!!

#GISChat #Rant Why did Enterprise Portal Admin log me out after like 5 minutes. I am using the system! stop logging me out! (I imagine its for security or something else I don't understand) but UGH
#GISChat AGOL Pet Peeves: I would like to select the attributes I want to see when looking at the content in my AGOL account. Modified date is useful but not always relevant. I would just liked to be able to change that attribute from Modified to Created Date.
Will you DM me your work email I'd like to reach out and set something up with my coworker.
#GISChat is anyone using ArcGIS Online and Enterprise for their SEOC/State Fusion Center? I have some questions about my current work around deploying it and would love to hear from similar people in this Emergency Management space.
#GISChat Just got an email from NYC Open Data about their Open Data week which starts this Sunday the 22nd - 29th of March and I am wondering why this isn't a bigger thing? We should have have open data weeks.
I mean you aren't wrong. At all.
Unpopular Opinion: If you are sharing datasets with people outside of your organization. You need to include metadata FULL STOP. If that data is available on an open data portal... You need metadata.
Ten toes down. You need metadata.
It is all good. I'll take everything, I just wanted to share it with the wider GIS community.
Cool, right on thank you for the suggestion.
Hmmmmm anything red pill ish sends up a RED flag.. hmmm.
I am just starting... So I am at the top of the rabbit hole wondering where the white rabbit went...
Hmmm this sounds great. I'll take a look.
Anytime I am preparing to send an email to a GIS team to introduce myself, there's a scene from the second Wreck it Ralph movie that plays in my head when Penelope ends up in the princess suite.
Like, I am a GIS Analyst Too! And then have to defend against questions around data quality #GISChat

#GISChat Rachel's Adventures in Mapping:
I went to a local bookstore to meet with a community member. I got to the bookstore early and did some browsing and found the first photo upon immediately walking in. Then the owner comes over and hands me the second book and says Map Girl you need this.
#GISChat AGOL Update, included info about enabling time based layer visibility, according to the write up, it sounds like they mean ANY layer. it would be so cool to be able to turn on a layer at 12pm MTN and then have it turn off 12pm MTN tomorrow even if it didn't have time in the attributes
Can I see your board?!
You got this! I am impressed already and you probably don't even have a draft yet. Keep going. You are a badass.
#GISChat Where do you go to find cartographic inspiration? I have started building Pinterest boards of color pallets and maps that i find interesting. Here's the link to the board if you are interested. pin.it/3JgQCBCld
