I did not notice a difference and that is my go-to size usually. It seems to behave the same as usual to me.

My favorite Artemis image so far.

Does it have to be gold? He might enjoy it too much.

Same!

Hey mappers - Here is an opportunity to get an early look at some big changes to Esri's Maps for Adobe mapping plug-in for Illustrator. Check out this link to participate in our Early Adopter Program (Beta):

I've since learned from a Cleveland resident that, when wealthy Cleveland-adjacent suburbs were drawing their boundaries, they thought that somehow these jagged boundaries would create a buffer between their cities and Cleveland. This was during the early 1900s.

zoomed in weird jagged city boundaries following land parcels, but sometimes cutting through parcels.

In most cases, it is following parcels, but not always.

even little right angles smaller than the blocks

I don't know. Look at this jaggedness. Fascinating.

I'm making a map of Cleveland, Ohio, and I thought I had bad data because of a long wobbly border between Cleveland and Shaker Heights. Turns out, Cleveland just has a very jagged boundary.

Good morning from Seattle, where the vibe has a dose of joy today 💙💚

Well, I may not be getting much sleep tonight. People are celebrating loud! Fireworks 🎆
Way to go HAWKS!

I have a serious shoulder injury & see a renowned specialist tomorrow at 7:30am. Rather than brave Seattle morning rush hour, I drove down tonight and am watching the Super Bowl alone in a hotel.
💙💚 Go HAWKS 💚💙

(And good vibes to the shoulder so I can climb again!)

I wish that others didn’t remain silent.

I cannot “heart” this post because it is a tragedy. But I want you to know I see you and your rage, and applaud you for not remaining silent.

It’s kidnapping.

Good read. I do feel like rabid raccoons may have more self control.

Hugs. Wisely was a good boy. 🐾

No. The court ruled on Presidential immunity and it still only applies to specific official acts. Federal agents do not have absolute immunity.

Yesss! I changed symbolization from opacity to hue & built a palette that leans into moody sunset tones. Opacity wasn't delivering the drama of solstice extremes. Hue gives the emotional weight it deserves. I’m enjoying how this prototype is coming together. Daylight Hours over span of 1 year.

This is a good part of the process, imho! Get it all out there for editing and updating. Every map is "unfinished."

Totally. It can be applied for several situations. In this particular one, I tend to share work-in-progress maps long before they're ready for prime time. I get excited.

Animating opacity doesn't provide the visual drama to match the reality of daylight hour differences. I'm going to experiment with hue, but want the operational data (upcoming) to pop, thus hue may steal this. These are the types of challenges I love as a geovisualization designer!

My eagerness for mapmaking surpasses my patience. Here's an early look at my proof-of-concept animation showing daylight hours per each 5-deg latitude band over the span of one year. Built with ArcGIS Pro, python, Maps for Adobe, Illustrator, After Effects, JavaScript/TS. 1/

Happy Winter Solstice Eve!
Cheers to brighter days ahead ❄️

Even when the reader knows the anatomy well, the labeling and ID graphics are typically in black or white. Bad choice for these images. Sometimes they use red or green, which is worse. These are my Friday night musings yall. I should go distract myself and watch the latest Pluribus.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 28: Black. Finalized in After Effects, the planet in dark tones with the world's tectonic plate boundaries slightly animating. Started w/ ArcGIS Pro and Illustrator. My video was too large for Bluesky, so here's the instagram version. 🌎
