Paul E.<p>Hands Off! rally at the WI capitol. I'm a horrible estimator of crowd size, but there were a helluva lot of people there.

Harald Kliems<p>Following up yesterday's post, I figured the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MadisonWI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MadisonWI</span></a> 3D data viz was worth a short blog post with code. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rayshader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rayshader</span></a> is very powerful, but also has a steep initial learning curve.

Harald Kliems<p>It's a rainy Sunday, and so I spent a lot of time futzing around with a high-quality version of the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MadisonWI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MadisonWI</span></a> DSM 3D render. 5000x5000px, 128 samples in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Rayshader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rayshader</span></a>.

Harald Kliems<p>Multiple mosquito bites from gardening. In <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MadisonWI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MadisonWI</span></a>! In March!</p>
Harald Kliems<p>I discovered very high resolution DSM data for Madison: <a href="https://geodata.wisc.edu/catalog/67d0518f-d029-4d8f-a8ac-41d9138fb30d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">geodata.wisc.edu/catalog/67d05</span><span class="invisible">18f-d029-4d8f-a8ac-41d9138fb30d</span></a> Throw it into <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rayshader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rayshader</span></a> and you can produce pretty things!

Harald Kliems<p>Quick <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LocalPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/UrbanPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UrbanPlanning</span></a> rant: Using quick experimental interventions is good. You implement something, collect data, see if it works, make adjustments. What's not good is not having a follow-up plan for experiments. That's what happened with the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MadisonWI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MadisonWI</span></a> State Street Ped Mall. Last summer, several blocks of the street were closed to all motorized traffic during certain hours of the day. Street furniture, pavement decorations, and programming were added. (thread)</p>

HaraldRegent Street in <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/MadisonWI?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MadisonWI</a> is an interesting mix of historic buildings, empty surface parking lots, and new development. I went on a photo walk there to document some of the challenges of the area, and also got some pretty photos out of it, such as this old advertising pole for Regent Liquor.
