- I blame @frannerd.bsky.social — basically for being an amazing illustrator and human. But anyway, I started taking pictures of objects to study how light plays off of them and I thought Fran might like this one maybe not so much when I draw it but in it’s original incarnation lol 😆
- Well I’m going to call it on running 300 miles in January 🤣 stay safe and warm…going to have to cycle
- ... along the way I sort of fell in love with #Cesium. Cesium Ion has a lovely story builder that I tend to use live in workshops to introduce participants to geospatial storytelling without the proprietary soul sucking pay to play model. #gischat bonnypmcclain.substack.com/p/a-beautifu...

- Reposted by datamongerbonnyNational media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
- Lessons in perspective. Ouch.
- Here is the invitation. We are going to build stories together. Beginning with an object which can be a physical object like a photograph, piece of art, or even something as ethereal as a memory we can reimagine them – art as words. datamongerbonny.substack.com/p/look-withi...

- Excited to read this issue. Building out a new multi-media conversation with a focus on integrating ‘art.object.story'. #dataviz #geospatial
