I keep a gist named yay.md. A secret, never shared and don’t plan to, gist. It’s where I keep screenshots of my personal yays.

Mom and I did the 1.3 mile hike around Thunder Mountain in Greenwich today.

I worked out of the SF Mapbox office last week and then hung around for the weekend. Adventure was had (along with cocktails, sunburns, and getting 10,000 steps).

A couple months ago, I was chewing on an idea for a slide for my FOSS4GNA talk and I needed to write it out. Knowing that The Pastry Box Project had opened their submissions, I worked on the idea and massaged it into something that I enjoyed.

A couple weeks ago I gave my talk Writing for everyone at FOSS4G NA. I had a great time! You can click through my slides, follow along with my notes, or watch the video.

Swoosh. Plunk. Flick. Flick. Flickflick. Tap. Taptaptaptaptap. Swoosh.

I was in Burlingame and San Francisco this past week for FOSS4G NA. Slides and video to come, but for now:

The best way down the hill is on your belly, like a penguin.

A year later, I’m back chatting with Tim:

Say you have a dataset for a handful of countries or all the countries, or maybe a handful of states or all the states. You want to assign your data to each state or country as a polygon of that area, not a point, so you can do fun colors or popups and make a darn cool map.
