Octothorpe House by Mork-Ulnes Architects

"Octothorpe House is as versatile as the # symbol for which it is named… Designed by Mork-Ulnes Architects (MUA) … The floor plan is a grid, but from outside, the multiple wings, façades, and half-gables often look asymmetrical, presenting a varying aspect at every turn and elevation…"

Missed opportunity to call it "hash house" but still pretty cool.

The #Curta is a mechanical calculator designed by the Austrian Curt Herztark. Curtas were regarded as the best portable #calculators before the invention of electronic calculators in the 1970s. Herzstark had finalized the design in 1938 but was unable to build it due to the Nazi invasion of Austria. In 1943, the Nazis arrested him and sent him to #Buchenwald Concentration camp where he was categorized as an “intelligence slave”. He redrew the entire design from memory after the war.

It's po-KATE-o.

Ahoy, mateys! Tis Day 22 of #30DayMapChallenge !!

Today's prompt is NULL, so this @observablehq notebook takes a look at Null Island, a nonexistent land mass at 0°, 0°.

Those coords may be devoid of land, but there is a buoy there! Said buoy is part of the PIRATA network of buoys.

The notebook explains more abt PIRATA, uses Leaflet+pirate-themed mapbox tiles, & displays a sparkline of monthly buoy readings in popups.

WASM DuckDB is also showcased!

COP: Where were you the night of the murder?
CROW: I was with a group of friends
COP: What would you call that group?
CROW: …I want a lawyer

decades-long manhunt finally ends

Some guy on twitter:
If you were redesigning undergraduate GIS teaching from scratch, what would you include? Software, techniques, ideas, etc...

Me: Inhales...

This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

In Duck Hunt the NES Zapper worked by blacking out screen & drawing white blocks around targets when you fire, for a couple frames. The diode in the Zapper detects the change in light intensity and tells the computer if it’s pointed at a lit target. #gamedev #retrogaming

So, an intro:

I'm an author who writes about how both nature & time spent creatively improves mental health, a molecular cell biologist & brain chemistry nerd, naturalist (especially plants and birds),
I run creative workshops (see link in bio) and use scientifically proven research to make photos that can alleviate anxiety and lift mood:

Finished off this!

I enjoyed this far more than I probably should have.
