I don't have #mapsathome on my walls, so I thought about reviewing some of my favourite cartography books #cartobooks while in lockdown. These would be some candidates from my personal library. What ya think?
Over in the free internet, I am reporting on my progress on a new prototype for lane-based intersection rendering.

Every academic who has had a few papers reviewed is well aware of the phenomenon of the self-confident, "well-informed" idiot.

Scale bars on a map of Italy from 1793. Each province had its own system for measuring distances!
Praise the metric system 🙏📏📐

Great #ICC2021 session yesterday on "cognition in geovisualization" and fantastic feedback on my talk about how display resolution affects the perception of cartographic symbology.

The Norwegians proving that you don't have to go with pastels on topographic maps #ICC2021
I am seeing more and more presentations using small font sizes at scientific conferences. Please 🙏 don't do this! There are people in the back of the room, too! #icc2021
Not too shabby a location for the opening ceremony of #ICC2021 at Palazzo Veccio, Firenze.
I thought I know a bit about computing history, but: WTF?!?
