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...
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.
#30DayMapChallenge choropleth (or 'caropleth'...) using some awkward (or dubious?) math to see where the number of cars increased more than the number of people between censuses (e.g. if car count increased by 6% and people count by 2%, cars increased 3x more/faster than people, even though people still outnumber cars overall).
Looks like only most of London and a handful of local authorities in the southeast (including Cambridge and Oxford) had higher people growth than car growth...
