I urge all of my friends in the US, if you have a local election today, go vote, if you haven't voted early! Local elections are just as important, and have much more immediate and direct consequences.

Anna von Hausswolff and Florence + The Machine both dropping new albums on Halloween? Today is gonna sound fantastic.

Happy Devil's Night, Michiganders. 😈

This morning’s hype anthem

Reminder to self: change is supposed to be difficult and uncomfortable.

Ah what the heck, I think I'll have another existential crisis, as a treat.

The longer I work in tech, the less enthusiastic I am about integrating any of it into my life.

Huh, choking in the playoffs really is just a Leafs thing in Toronto.

Finally, some good autumn weather.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Enough. Awesome to see this billboard up in Vancouver. Was really incredible to work with the people at @visionzerovancouver.ca to bring this to life.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Having one of those days where I'm extremely tempted to give up on working in tech entirely, disappear to some small university town, and open up a quiet little book shop.

Kinda feels like the only major sports team in the State of Michigan that had a good weekend was the Red Wings. Yikes.

Defeated, yet again, by the cheese aisle.

Welp, time to let one team dictate my mood for the next six months. My body is ready. LGRW!

Look, all I'm saying is that allowing corporations and PACs to fund political parties and politicians wasn't such a great idea

86°F on Sunday, to 36°F this morning... welcome to Michigan in the autumn. 🤣

Winter is coming, be ready with your own plow & salt truck! msusurplusstore.com/products/veh...

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

It's not even lunch time and I've already lost count of how many times I've heard the phrase "digital twin."

How to tell I badly need a vacation: I'm already looking at campsites for NEXT camping season... 😵‍💫 Soon, though: ESRI Conference next week, then two blessed weeks off immediately after.

Man, if you ever want to derail my attention, shove a historic map in front of my face. It's diverted. Immediately.

Look, I know firsthand how much fun it is to explode stuff, but... not at 10PM on a weeknight, please. 🙃

I miss not having a complete sense of dread and hopelessness whenever the SCOTUS issues its opinion on cases.

What good is a 10°F drop in temperature, when the humidity sits at 96%? Ugh.

Happy Solstice, friends. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, Happy Summer! Enjoy the light and warmth.

On a whim, I went and bought mead after work. I am now tempted to go sit out on my balcony, sip mead, and watch storms. I think the ancestors might be calling.

Huh, so apparently the font used in the "Say Yes! to Michigan" tourism campaign in the 80s and 90s is called Della Robbia Heavy. Gonna file that away for future projects...

I was going to go hiking this weekend, but if it's going to be as miserable as it's predicted to be, I might as well just stay in. Nobody needs to be subjected to that bullshit.

Felt like making burritos this week, so I threw some beef roast in the crock pot with spices this morning. Now my apartment smells absolutely amazing. 🤤

Saw an estimate from MLive of 8,000-10,000 people at today's No Kings Lansing protest. Absolutely wild. You showed up, Lansing! ❤️

I really enjoy both coffee and tea, and if I'm honest, some mornings I wouldn't get anything done without them. But man, I wish they wouldn't make me pee so much.

Gods help me, I'm about to stitch together and entire county's worth of elevation rasters.

This is the kind of summer weather I actually enjoy. 77°F/25°C and sunshine? Yes please.

Watched a UPS flight take off out of Lansing this morning, and now my mind seems firmly stuck in the sky.

You know what, I'm really glad I uninstalled Duolingo a long time ago.

I really hate it when a result comes out wrong purely because I'm an idiot sometimes, and can't keep my < and > operators straight.

Not gonna lie, at this point I really want to see SWE-DEN for the IIHF Men's finals. With Sweden winning, of course.

Lovely October weather we're having today.

Some days I wonder if I should take my GIS skills into emergency management or meteorology. Both are wildly fascinating to me.

Glad Syttende Mai, Norge!

Whoever wished for interesting times to live in needs to calm tf down.

blarg my brain is jelly

I really dislike how quickly I can go from "hmm, I wonder who owns that property" to "hey, I wonder where the point of beginning is for the entire PLSS grid is, and can I get to it?"

This week's lunch prep: beef curry rice!

Evidently, Facebook felt it imperative that I know about Wasilla, AK getting a cat café soon.

One of these years I'll get used to how things work in Experience Builder on ArcGIS Online...

I forgot just how much I enjoy listening to Sigur Rós's Untitled album.

Updating my data on marijuana facilities in the city, and once again I'm disappointed by the fact that 420 High Street is not a valid address in Lansing.
