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.

After flipping through past posts, I realized that my lush green static map didn’t match wintery posts. For example, Christmas day hike. It’s winter, nothing is green. Everything is white and then gray and then cold and then sometimes sad. So I needed a map style to match winter (minus the sad).

The trail was a sheet of ice, but a pretty sheet of ice.

Or, how we beat cabin fever by fleeing cold New York for cold Massachusetts for one night.

Way back in May, I built a pen based on MDN’s article to visualize and compare all CSS lengths. Here’s the original pen:

I spent last week working out of the Mapbox San Francisco office.

Took the 6:15 AM train to Penn Station with a friend. Walked around, saw the Christmas show, had a delicious dinner, and then took the 5:15 PM train back to Albany.
