Winding down the mapping week with the Prince of Darkness. #workinprogress #OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath

HUGE thanks to everyone who came to our mapping & visualization sessions at #EsriUC2025. With >3,800 Map Wizardry was 2nd most attended in-person session behind Jack's opening plenary (2nd year running!). Online, Mappy Hour was 3rd most watched with >4,500. Wowsers!"

I created this Emoji/Chernoff Face Dorling cartogram of the UN Happiness Index for last week's #EsriUC. Feel free to download a copy if you wish. carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html…

I don't usually make spinny globes but I created one showing the UN Happiness Index for last week's #EsriUC2025. Because what's more happy than a global bouquet of fresh flowers!

Another user conference in the books. What a fantastically exhausting week. Thanks for all the wonderful things you said about our mapping sessions, great to see so many friends old and new. Safe travels home... and stay mappy! #EsriUC2025

"Now then Morgan, this time you really really really promise not to tell anyone your release clause is £61m right? RIGHT?" #NFFC 🔴⚪🌳

Well played Mr Marinakis, very well played indeed 👏👏👏 Possibly the only thing better than seeing Gibbs-White sign a new contract is doing so in the face of Daniel Levy. If he still wants him in a Spudz shirt next year it'll be a few quid more than £60m #nffc 🔴⚪🌳

George Lucas doing #comicon for the first time? Pah! I've done the #SDCC 24 times at #EsriUC and had a total audience of 10k this year. Beat that George! (He probably will) #StarWars

For every map there is an equal and opposite map. Here's the companion map to 'Golf of America' showing all golf courses in Mexico. We'll call it 'Golf of Mexico'. Feel free to download a copy if you wish. carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html…

Just my local bar honouring #Ozzy All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify #Paranoid #BlackSabbath

For Map Wizardry at last week's #EsriUC2025, inspired by a map in an old Sports Illustrated, I made "Golf of America" - a pictorial map of all the golf courses in the contiguous US with an appropriately positioned title. Feel free to download a copy. carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html…

For last week's Map Wizardry session at #EsriUC2025 I made a moonpie/cartogram/infographic of the 2024 US Presidential Election. Feel free to download a copy if you wish. carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html…

Never saw #Ozzy live despite trying three times. His no-show at Rock City in my home town Nottingham was notable for all the wrong reasons. Most recent no-show was at Power Trip when Judas Priest replaced him on the bill musicintheattic.co.uk/the-night-ozzy…

Back to the beginning indeed. Prophetic. RIP #Ozzy

Dear @British_Airways you're now trolling loyal customers. Bad enough you wrecked Exec Club for Gold Members but now Club World is cheaper than Premium Economy on this route! Under new British Airways Club rules if you're after status you're better off downgrading. Ridiculous.

Time for a bit of R&R in the pool with a post-#EsriUC2025 maptail. Cheers!

Jack reporting Map Wizardry as one of the top sessions at #EsriUC2025. Woohoo! 🎉 (good time to ask for a raise? 😉)

Final offering of Map Wizardry this morning in Room 20B at 9am. Next year we get Petco Park right? #EsriUC2025

#EsriUC2025 party time 🎉
