What I’m learning with my Facebook Map Atlas of the Day πŸ—Ί

Since mid-January, I have been posting a new Map Atlas of the Day to my Personal Facebook account. Most of those maps are created with QGIS, using data I’ve been able to pull from a variety of sources but a lot from the tidycensus R package and exported to an GPKG. I tried to spend less then 10-15 minutes each day on the map.

Each day creating the map, it makes me look for ways to automate processes, pull data together quickly. Often I discover a new problem with the layout, forcing me to dig a little deeper into the documentation, learning a new function or technique in QGIS. As time is tight, I often try to do things as quickly. Once you do things constantly, you get quicker and quicker each day, and find ways to take shortcuts. You find ways to improve beauty, make things more visually attractive.

Weather Update – April 18, 2022

Sun today and then cold rain later in evening into tomorrow. 🌦

It’s like we get everything this week, although maybe not the snow of the higher elevations. Windows are open today, to dry out my clothes, but I will need to close them by evening. Still mild enough locally I don’t think it will screw  up the green up much. I was noticing last night walking at 8 PM that there was still some daylight out, which was nice.
