In other "buy my stuff" news, buy the Atlas basketball globe if there are any left! (And the Naismith map if you want, but I don't really care.)
The Atlas globe basketball and Naismith map have never been cheaper. The GOAT gifts for hoops nerds! Get yours here: thegoldenhexagon.com/
Like most people in my circles, I'm not really on this site anymore, but I'm still a little bit around to ask—nay, demand—that you buy my stuff. Good gifts for anyone who's into the White Mountains or the Cascades! andysmaps.bigcartel.com/
Election Day is almost here! Can’t wait to vote on:
- ordinary vs completely and dangerously unhinged ruler
- leaders of several bureaucratic offices I didn’t know existed
- 5 state laws I’m deeply unqualified to weigh in on
Added one new project to my portfolio today: helping FlightAware with data and design for their rebuilt maps! 😃 andywoodruff.com/posts/2024/…
Then, moved 11 portfolio items to a new “dead links” section. 😔

Shutting down the shop for a few weeks to enjoy the end of summer, but will be posting some fun new things starting in September at timwallace.art.
At long last I let the @maptimeBoston meetup dot com group expire, and for this sin against the #ratmap, god hath sent the #ratmap to my back yard. 10 caught with more to go. 😵
I am once again asking you to look at this Simpsons joke that hasn’t aged a day in 30 years.
ALT Images from the Simpsons episode “Bart gets an elephant”: one of a Republican convention with banners saying “we want what’s worst for everyone” and “we’re just plain evil”; and one of a Democratic convention with banners saying “we hate life and ourselves” and “we can’t govern!”

Maptime Boston turns 10 years old in a few weeks! 🎉🎂
But for the group to come back to life, new leadership is needed. I (@awoodruff) haven’t been able to organize any meaningful events and no longer want to pay Meetup’s fees.
If you can help take charge, please get in touch!
In a way, I am 41 years old.
And in another, more accurate way, I am 12 years old when my toddler pronounces “fish” as “shit” 🤭
My seventh total eclipse is in the books! From the comfort of my childhood home, where we’d had it on the calendar for some 33 years.
Might subscribe just to confirm that this is indeed water with a squirt of ranch dressing (“Minnesota champagne”)
For the Oregon people in your life, I’ve got a new Crater Lake print in my little shop. Only 10 months til Christmas, folks, act now! andysmaps.bigcartel.com/prod…
I’ll attempt the #30DayMapChallenge this year! I plan to use it for the personal challenge of trying a tiny something new to me each time, be it a map style, a GIS function, or whatever else. Perhaps I’ll document those things at the end, but meanwhile…
I haven’t given up on the #30DayMapChallenge by the way; I’ve just given up on posting every day to multiple places across the social media hellscape. I’ll come back here with a thread and/or summary at the e end!
Well, guess I'm not going to bother posting all of my #30DayMapChallenge entries here, but I did finally get around to putting some of the highlights on my website! andywoodruff.com/posts/2023/…

Here's another ribbon map of a river; this time designed specifically for a receipt printer. Perhaps the most unnecessary thing I've ever made.
Better late than never: if you are anyone you know loves the White Mountains in New Hampshire, buy one (or more) of my maps at this online store that I've hastily slapped together! andysmaps.bigcartel.com/
Got my own prints today and phew, they look pretty good! So here’s one more plug, since there are a few days before the supposed Christmas order deadline. andysmaps.bigcartel.com/
Forgive the self-quote; just wanted to slap a #30DayMapChallenge hashtag on this for searches &c.
Day 7, navigation. I remade one of the maps from the “you can’t get there from here” series I did some years ago, which showcase some spots around the Boston area where a short distance is a much longer and circuitous trip by car than by foot. andywoodruff.com/blog/you-ca…
ALT A map showing car and foot routes between two nearby points in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The foot route is direct; the car route requires a large loop.
