I help municipalities and utility providers get a better return on their technology investments. I like paddling in whitewater and tinkering with an old CJ7. Located in East TN

This Backdoor Legislative Tool Could Unravel Public Lands Congress continues effort to erase protections for America’s shared lands and waters

Republicans in Congress are trying to force mining and gas extraction using a tool that has never been used for public lands management. The process could set the stage for a single lawmaker to undo any public land plan they don't like. And it looks like national monuments could be next. 🌎

A yellow-and-blue poster titled on the bottom as "Projection Connections." It shows a complex flowchart of dozens of map projections. Each projection is shown as a pale yellow tile which contains the projection name and the appearance of its graticule, linked by patterned pipes on a dark teal geometric background. The pattern on each connecting line gives information on the relationships between projections.

The pattern on each connecting line gives information on the relationships between projections.

A more detailed view of a few projections on part of the poster, and its legend. Different connecting lines can indicate whether one projection is a specific case of a parent projection, or an averaging of two projections, or a fusion of two projections, or otherwise a mathematically modified version.

More details from the poster, showing several uncommon projections, as well as some familiar ones. For example, the Goode Homolosine is shown, an connected to the Sinusoidal and Mollweide projections, since it is a fusion of the two.

A few years ago I made this poster and released it as a free PDF (somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2022/12/19/p...). This week, I learned from a colleague that it has actually been posted in an educational setting!

to be more clear, we got help installing and configuring Enterprise and then the consultant was mostly out of the picture... I was left to manage loading data, permissions, publishing, desktop installs, etc

i justified this expense at my old job essentially saying - i could prob figure this out given enough time, but what if i make a mistake? we should let someone who does this everyday do it.

Opinion | Teton County housing proposal could set precedent for future public land grabs A proposed development on the Bridger-Teton National Forest has units earmarked for agency staff but is mostly open to non-federal workers, writes Brigid Mander.

A Wyoming housing proposal would put a private development on national forest land. It would set a precedent for carving up public lands whenever local housing or economic pressure mounts.

It's a small project, but a terrible precedent to set.

Undoing Utah National Monument Protections Risks Legal Chaos (1) Republicans have a clear path to open national monuments to mining and fossil fuels by tossing out Biden-era conservation plans, but legal analysts say such a move would risk legal chaos.

Congress is trying to wipe out one of Utah's National Monuments with a procedural trick. This would clear the way to hand much of Grand Staircase-Escalante over to extractive industry.

Can't wait for Olympic curling? Trying its Southern cousin: skillet curling It might seem inelegant to yeet an iron skillet across an ice rink. But this spinoff sport has its own techniques and lingo: You can throw a turtle at the bacon, for instance.
