Making mistakes in geographic analysis is disturbingly easy. The “Intro to Geographic Analysis” materials briefly discuss computational representations of geographic data. Then I delve into potential gotchas — from spatial databases to hexagonal partitioning, from avoiding analysis on lat-longs to choosing appropriate graphical formats, and more.
A brief introduction to geographic analysis was published on 30 April 2017.
What’s this blog about?
Whatever is on my mind. The content has varied over the past more-than-decade, but it's always been technical. In the early years I focused on improving the fabric of the internet for some niche tools. But the internet no longer needs that kind of improving, and search doesn't really work like that anymore either. This blog is currently mostly about documenting notes for my future self, and sharing those notes with anyone who is interested.
