I redid my website with a new splash page - come hang out and enjoy some transit for a bit. nathenry.com

I'm very excited about this one! First continental-scale, high-res mapping of AC. AC protects against extreme heat but also causes urban heat islands. And until Amber Vayani's analysis here, we just didn't know much about AC distribution at all. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... #AC #DHS #HeatWave

Fun locator map in Montparnasse station, Paris. Turn the whole thing and the map spins to be oriented toward the way you’re facing.

Running into a Thomas de Quincey reference on Bluesky

Sara Nelson's new websites are a grim example of what happens when an organization replaces human artistic/design judgment with AI. Let an LLM set the visual defaults for your website, and the results will look like ClaudeSlop™️ guaranteed!

🚈 Next stop: Pinehurst Station! September 30, we’re opening the doors to our newest Link station — and our very first infill station. We’re celebrating with the community on opening day! 🎉 Check our website for details as we get closer: www.soundtransit.org/pinehurst

This is a wonderful viz of fragmentation!

A guy can dream..

Really grim to hear that some Bite of Seattle booths got looted in the aftermath of the mass shooting. Go support PaPa Kitchen in Roosevelt: papakitchen25.com

As with all our housing, these buildings will be forever publicly owned, permanently affordable and climate forward. We look forward to telling you more soon !

Meanwhile, on LinkedIn...

@annehelen.bsky.social saying "no one would call Seattle a public transportation city" in this week's Culture Study... 🤔🙋‍♂️

Close now features a subscription for power users! One new feature solves the 2-body problem: "what neighborhoods are walkable AND commutable for both of us?" This is about two years in the making and I'm pretty proud of it. Check it out: close.city

Every job in America, mapped: jobs.close.city

Not enough room to describe all the new features that just released on Close today—go check them out! close.city Three more major updates coming this week 👀

Took an unexpected lime scooter from Roosevelt Station to Pike Place Market 🥲 some days the Link tests you

Everyone is rightfully mad about the Kavanaugh letter, but I'm equally amazed by the gall to call yourself a "former public school teacher" based on what looks like one year of TFA

Love the Roosevelt and 12th bike lanes @seattledot.bsky.social , but they need hardening. This Tesla driver in the black sweatshirt had them confused for a delivery lane!

Delighted to learn about @kingcountymetro.bsky.social's World Cup shuttles by running into them in pixel form ⚽

Between pedestrians on the street, the architecture, and the streetcar station, it took me a second to realize this wasn't a European city center!

At our meeting tomorrow, Northeast Safe Streets will be hosting Alex Hudson to present on the upcoming Seattle Transit Measure! Everyone is welcome: the meeting is at 6:30 in the U District Partnership building.

Kathy Hochul rooting for the refs 🧐

My Chicago-Madison connecting flight got cancelled because of wind, and American tried to rebook me on a redeye through Dallas (😱) but real ones know it's only a 2h bus ride. See you soon #SOTMUS!

I'm headed to @osmus.bsky.social State of the Map in Madison this week—who else is going? Let's hang out!

Shout-out to fellow cugos.org member Aaron Schechter (transitmapping.net) for his great op-ed in the Urbanist today! It comes with a brilliant interactive map, of course

Holkham beach, Norfolk - I was commissioned by someone to replicate this beautiful beach and all its shades and textures as an aerial embroidery! Lots of grasses, reeds and mud mixed in with the sand. Not sure if the tide in coming on or going out though... More close-ups are in the thread: 1/2

We're gonna make it 🙏 Pic from Reddit

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

Good stuff. I just subscribed 👍

Okay Version 1 (AKA The One Line) is complete! CHOO-CHOO!

Wait, this is extremely cool

Anybody live, work, or otherwise familiar with these light rail stations and interested in helping students by drawing your mental map of the area: Judkins Park, Mercer Island, Wilburton, Spring District? You’d be a huge help to udents in the UW Communities, Environment, and Planning major.

Today I'm releasing 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗣𝗢𝗜𝘀, a project to unify points of interest from @openstreetmap.bsky.social and @overturemaps.bsky.social across the U.S! Check it out: openpois.org Full data on @source.coop: source.coop/henryspatial... Replication code: github.com/henryspatial...

I was getting strong "stop doing math" energy from this article, and wouldn't you know it.. 🤪
