Trying out eduard.earth for a map of one my bucket list National Parks just for fun. Blown away by this relief shading tool and grateful for its ability to bring more Eduard Imhof inspired cartography into the world.

OSM features have landed in @unfoldedinc as Hex Tiles: you can now bring in being on a road or building into your analytics. Or, my favorite, explore the global railroad network: studio.unfolded.ai/home/data… @JWasilGeo @nrabinowitz
I’m probably feeling a little too proud of this undeniably horrible mapping pun. (Not)Sorry in advance.

In Prof. @garciadelcast @harvardGSD class last week, our assignment was to model recursion parametrically. My group project partner, Mengyu Zhao and I scripted Grasshopper nodes in C# to create our project: Recursive Global Illumination: Skyglow in Parametric Perspective.

I created this image a week ago, but keep thinking about it. The charts in each column are exactly the same, just the background color is different.
ALT Three rows with a white, grey and black background. In each row are three bar charts with light-grey, medium-grey and dark-grey bars that differ slightly in lightness. You can't see the differences between the bars until they're roughly the same as the background image.

Anyway, 2021 was not my favorite, but there was a lot of great work this year. You can find all my picks here: flowingdata.com/2021/12/31/b…
I can only assume 2022 is going be better.

I made github.com/shuding/cobe a while ago: a 5kB globe lib, and it improved our page performance* by almost 60%.
How is it created? Time for a WebGL & shader thread!
