Today I learned that Teams renders the paperclip emoji as Clippy and I am THRILLED
There is also a Clippy sticker pack
Mostly maps and data visualisation
Sometimes data analysis, urban history, city economies, and books

finally decided to try one of these ridgeplots. qgis + r + affinity designer. and if anyone ever needs an 8gb composite DTM/geotiff of UK and Ireland... let me know.
It's been a long time since I did any mapping for fun. I spent a bit of time this weekend with elevation data in QGIS and did a couple renders of the North Saskatchewan river through Edmonton. might eventually import into Affinity for more/other design options and less tedious line-to-polygon adaptation...
Most UK local authorities: we have no money we can barely deliver basic services and are on the brink of bankruptcy, good times
Conwy Council: "seeking an Economic Development Consultancy to provide an economic impact assessment of the concept of removing stones from Llandudno North Shore Beach and replacing with sand."
A colleague and I did a bit of analysis on council tax:
"The local government funding crisis is an inequality issue. [...]
Our analysis shows that relying on increasing council tax to balance budgets risks increasing inequality between more deprived urban authorities and the rest of the country. [...]
England’s major towns and cities typically have higher levels of uncollected council tax and there is a strong correlation between council tax collection rates and income deprivation rates."
One of my maps was deemed 'hip' enough for Geohipster's 2024 calendar 🎉 I got the January page and there's a short Q&A about it here: https://www.geohipster.com/2024/01/18/maps-and-mappers-of-the-2024-calendar-amanda-robinson-january/
#30DayMapChallenge 'my favourite...' - one of my fav maps from my three years of participating in the challenge: where is Inner London?
Bit of a #30DayMapChallenge 'population' cheat because I made this map months ago for some reason and didn't publish it: Where in Canada do the provincial trees have the most overlap with the human population?
A: Not Alberta ;)
(Note the tree habitat data here is around 50 years old - still widely used but liable to have shifted as a result of climate change)
A #30DayMapChallenge contribution for 'is it a chart or a map' on behalf of my company. The amount of industrial floorspace in London decreased by 18%—or 4.3m m²—between 2007 and 2022. Inner London boroughs generally lost a greater proportion of their industrial space than outer boroughs and they accounted for around 2/3 of the space lost throughout the city.
I'd like to do more graphics in this map-graph combo style. Is fun.
