Even when the reader knows the anatomy well, the labeling and ID graphics are typically in black or white. Bad choice for these images. Sometimes they use red or green, which is worse. These are my Friday night musings yall. I should go distract myself and watch the latest Pluribus.

After weeks of looking through MRIs and X-rays in medical journals, online resources for radiology students, etc, I’ve discovered that there’s a huge need for improving how these resources are labeled for feature ID. Considering writing a piece using my own images.

Update: MRI and ortho shows that it is an AC joint sprain and not a short head bicep tendon tear. Rest is very important, but something I’ve never been great at. It’s better to be injured in winter than climbing season I suppose. Onward!

#30DayMapChallenge Day 28: Black. Finalized in After Effects, the planet in dark tones with the world's tectonic plate boundaries slightly animating. Started w/ ArcGIS Pro and Illustrator. My video was too large for Bluesky, so here's the instagram version. 🌎

😊 thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! It’s the quick version, but I’d enjoy spending more time with it to give it more of a magnifying dome effect.

Equal Earth and web Mercator, both aligned at 0, 0.

Thanks!

Transitioning from the map inspo to the reimagined version. I eyeballed the bathymetry from other images.

Cutest photobomb

I see deer almost every morning walk, but this beautiful buck was extraordinary today. Gorgeous.

Rather than take this torn bicep tendon injury as a sign that I should quit climbing, I’m going to let it inspire me to set MUCH higher climbing goals… after 6-8 weeks of recovery 💪

Small world indeed!

I’ve since added color to the map. Next steps: photograph it and add digital data for hydro and labels. 🗺️

#30daymapchallenge Day 4. My Data
One year ago today we said goodbye to Jasperdog. I drew this hillshade of Goat Mtn in memory of a special hike w/my pup. I plan to complete the map soon. The other photo is the actual hike. One year and still missing him so much 🐾

30 days in a row will be impossible 🙃

Not a lot of time for this one today. Mexico and surrounding geography with an early mid-century modern twist. 🌎

Serendipitously, I flew from east coast time zone to the pacific on the eve of setting our clocks back. I landed at 3:00am body clock time. That extra hour of sleep was wonderful. Kentucky was fantastic! Cartography conference, climbing, hanging w friends & working. Glad to be back in the PNW 🌲

I’m looking forward to reading it. Also nice to see the collab with @southarrowmaps.co.nz 🗺️

I like this take on points 👍

So cool! I love that region. Great views.

*drive through US-Canada border twice 👋

Map of Point Robert’s with inset map below showing its location within the Salish Sea

#30DayMapChallenge “Points”
I chose to map this pene-exclave using a modified antique style. Point Roberts is a small community only accessible via the water or by driving through Canada (twice if you’re coming from the US!) I enjoy that our little exclave is nestled by our 🇨🇦 neighbors.

Oh I hope this 2008 post still exists! (Link?)
