4 [Of Many] Careers In GIS [ / Spatial Data] With Great Job Outlooks
--
gis.usc.edu/blog/the-4-fastest <-- shared article
--
[note that I am not associated with this university in any way, just thought that it was an informative article, as in some form]
[My personal take is that unless you want specifically to be ‘Spatial Super Hero’ then pick a professional field that you appreciate & interests you - and then use GIS / spatial data skills to support that with your gained knowledge. Note that this field will almost certainly change over your career and that is A-OK; I started out as an engineering geologist, still keep my license current, then environmental scientist including nuclear site cleanups, and now work in the area of spatial data for hydrology, and next is…]

Just Upgraded To PostgreSQL 15, Lets Have A Look

Just got PostgreSQL 15 installed, most I will never have a need for, but look forward to continuing to grow more into it as part of my applied science work with my team - and with the elephant looking down on me from the bookshelf, (very) quietly encouraging me to learn more and use more (as silly as that of course is!)

30 [Often Purposefully] Terrible Maps That Are As Funny As They're Useless
--
boredpanda.com/terrible-maps-f <-- shared article

“OK, folks, you might want to keep your GPS on while scrolling through this one because we're heading into the land of 'Terrible Maps.'
It's a bumpy ride, full of wrong coordinates and not-very-helpful legends, however, the unexpected twists and turns are what make it so memorable.
This fun online project, dedicated to geographically incorrect entertainment, features such gems as 'The World According To Fish' and 'What Pedestrian [Signs] Look Like Across Europe.'
Even though its content might not get you from point A to point B, the pictures can, in fact, teach you something and put a smile on your face…”

40 Surprising Maps That Show A Completely Different Side To The World We Live In

[All Data Is Spatial!]
“Who doesn't love a good map? I'd even say we'd get lost without one. They enrich our understanding of the world in a simple, visual way.
Maps teach us not only about the size and shapes of countries but also show many more interesting things, like earthquake locations and wealth distribution. The local status of gay marriage or car reliance. Pretty much everything we have data on!..”

What Is A Digital Elevation Model (DEM)?- A Practical Guide
--
equatorstudios.com/what-is-a-d <-- shared tutorial
--
“A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a digital cartographic dataset that represents a continuous topographic elevation surface through a series of cells. Each cell represents the elevation (Z) of a feature at its location (X and Y). Digital Elevation Models are a “bare earth” representation because they only contain information about the elevation of geological (ground) features, such as valleys, mountains, and landslides, to name a few. They do not include any elevation data concerning non-ground features, such as vegetation or buildings...”
