It's like the doughnut version of a party ring @karimdouieb.bsky.social Mmmmm!

I don't have a Golf of Europe map but here's my Golf of America map to celebrate Europe's fantastic #rydercup win. Bit squeaky bum today though #RyderCup2025 #Golf Download for free: carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.ht...

The Europeans are having a ball at Bethpage. Here's a map to celebrate it all #rydercup

A cracking first day at the #RyderCup. Celebrate with my 'Golf of America' pictorial map of all the golf courses in the US. #Golf Free download: carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.ht...

You had me at #SKI2026 even though I ride a snowboard. Presumably members of The Commonwealth are admissible (asking for a friend).

This is not going to go the way you think. Fix the education system and there wouldn't be such a reliance on foreign talent. www.cnn.com/2025/09/19/p...

Potato delivery 🇬🇧➡️🇺🇸

I yearn for the days you got on a bus, got in a queue, and bought a paper ticket to a gig you wanted to go to. These days everyone and their dog registers while they're sat on the pot. This 'random' nonsense means I'm not even allowed in the digital queue. #Radiohead

#Banksy stumping up to erase his own artwork is next level 🤣

In Vancouver a couple of weeks ago the International Cartographic Association formally withdrew the 2027 conference from Tel Aviv due to the ongoing situation. It ratified Poland to take its place. Frying pan. Fire 🤦

Next time you go to the #Smithsonian Air and Space museum check out this fantastic [my word] flight map on a new exhibit. I made it years ago. The museum asked to use it. No way was I rejecting the opportunity of having a map in the Smithsonian!

The shape of the River Wear is not even close to that of the River Tyne but even more baffling is the labels. Must have been added manually because they don't even exist in those relative positions. Sunderland's Stadium of Light on it too 🤦 Unbelievable! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Nearly 30yrs on from last seeing #oasis (at the now legendary Knebworth shows) when tickets were both a beautiful memento, and relatively cheap, I find myself picking out a bucket hat for this evening's #rosebowl #OasisLive25 show

Can't beat a good maptoon and Peter Brookes is a master of them.

Fun for me. Hope it was for the audience. There were a few important points made amongst the shenanigans too #carto2025

It's been 35yrs since I worked at BGS when I vowed never to be a cartographer. Technically, I've never had a job with 'cartographer' in the title so I kinda held myself to that promise. Good to be back today for #carto2025 though.

Suitably attired for @bcsmaps.bsky.social #carto2025 in my home town today. Should be a great day!

Someone needs to tell #Radiohead how geography works when identifying the 'closest' gig venue location to European country of residence. And if they really are intent on giving people geographical priority then how are they going to deal with VPNs during the scramble for tickets?

Looking forward to my nineteenth @bcsmaps.bsky.social conference tomorrow in my home town. Finishing touches to my presso today with co-authors Status Quo, Judas Priest, Ozzy, and Charlie XCX.

Had to clear out some boxes in storage at my mum's house. Found these classic discs. ArcView 1.0 I think. I was the first person to teach with it in the UK in the early nineties 👍

Trying to corral a new laptop to work the way you want it to is deeply frustrating, particularly when you are at the behest of a centralised system who think you work in a particular way, and when you're one hour from leaving for the airport 🤦

I needed a North arrow. There's one on my shirt. Perfect.

#ICC2025 only gave speakers 12 mins so they got the single slide version of my Mapbusters talk. BCS next week has given me 25 mins so they get the full version. Looking forward to #carto2025 in my home town of Nottnum mi duck!

"The map of my head: great sadness" by a 4yr old from Belgium was a standout children's map from last week's #ICC2025 for lots of reasons.

Thread of some of my favourite children's maps from last week's #ICC2025. As always, a mix of hope and grim darkness 1/4

These traditional Chinese luban lock globe puzzles were on display at #ICC2024. Frustratingly, annoyingly, and inexplicably with no way to purchase. Even the people who brought them had no idea where they were actually from 🤦

My "Golf of..." golf course maps are both available for download if you care for toponym puns, and title block placement decision-making. mappy-hour-carto.hub.arcgis.com

A really nice, and deserved tribute to my late friend Igor Drecki at the #ICC2025 closing ceremony. We all still miss him terribly 💔

The Indonesians have brought their spectacularly talented kids to #ICC2025 again. Yes, this is my biennial sarcastic children's map competition post. Four. Years. Old... FOUR!!! Do me a favour 🤦🤣🤣🤦🤣

I've always wondered what retired cartographers do. Here's Menno-Jan talking about his collection of maps on stamps. Brilliant talk! #ICC2025

Impossible to get lost at #ICC2025 today as long as the way is always up.

Canada going for the 1:1 scale map at #ICC2025

When at a Cartography conference you have licence to wear your map shoes #ICC2024

Nothing more irritating than a conference venue map oriented incorrectly. So we fixed it at #ICC2025. Of course we did.

#ICC2025 precon on the intersection of map design and atlases with Ian Muehlenhaus leading the discussion.

#mapsinthewild at the Vancouver Aquarium

Can't put my finger on it but pretty sure this convention centre will suit a bunch of cartographers #ICC2025

Ordered! This is going to be great. Nigel's work is always so joyful.

Made it to Vancouver. If you're headed to #ICC2025 pack a rain coat.

What could be better than presenting with talented colleagues, to interested audiences at #EsriUC2025? I had a blast! Now @tierneymaps.bsky.social has posted a blog exploring the maps she made and the workflows. Great stuff! Give it a read won't you?

If you're heading to Vancouver for #ICC2025 and flying #AirCanada you might want to check your flight status/make alternative arrangements, given the strike action. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Tell me the potted plant in the garden is a dead ringer for Jeff Lynne without telling me it's Jeff Lynne 🤣

Latest edition of The Cartographic Journal has landed. August 2024 (not a typo). 3mm thick. Next issue to be measured in micrometers in January 2031 👍

It's the International Cartographic Conference in Vancouver next week. It'll be my 10th ICC. Every single one characterised by random, bizarre, and totally unpredictable happenings. Who knows what's in store! #ICC2025

#mapsinthewild The Getty Museum, LA.

A map on a postcard you say? 🤔 I may have just the thing 🏌️of 🇺🇸
