Back to my long-running project of upgrading the style on my old river maps from the ca. 2010 style (for a book I never printed) to the more colorful poster style I've been using since about 2020.

The work on these sort of never ends. I've made them, upgraded them, restyled them, reformatted them, etc. as time goes on. And I'll probably keep doing so.

A warning for Adobe #InDesign users. I recently updated my copy, and after preparing a document, the recipient of that document sent me the alt text that popped up on one of their figures. Apparently, by default, InDesign uses AI to generate (often hilariously wrong) alt text for images.

Dear #history folks: I'm a professional mapmaker (https://somethingaboutmaps.com) and I make a lot of maps for academic press books.

Would you be interested in attending an online talk where I discuss:
• what cartographers are
• why your work might benefit from maps
• how to find a mapmaker
• what it's like to work with one
• how much it might cost
?

If there's enough interest, I might put something together this winter, so please boost this! If it happens, I'll announce it here and on my blog.

The Alliance of Freelance Cartographers needs your help! By taking our short annual survey, you strengthen your #cartography community. Please help us spread this widely!

This survey is for:
1. Anyone around the world
2. Who did any amount of freelance mapping last year (even a little). You don't need to "run a business" to take it. As long as you got paid to make a map, and it wasn't part of a regular salaried job, then we want to hear from you!
