Storytelling from Space

Storytelling from Space: Tools/Resources

This list of resources is all about acquring and processing aerial imagery. It's generally broken up in three ways: how to go about this in Photoshop/GIMP, using command-line tools, or in GIS software, depending what's most comfortable to you. Often these tools can be used in conjunction with each other.

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

creating an animated (gif) world map of life expectancy using ggplot2

This gist shows how to create an animated world map of life expectancy using R. The data comes the UN World Population Prospects, 2015 Revision, and it brings life expectancy data from 1950 untill 2015 and projeceted data up to 2100. Thanks Topi Tjukanov, who reminded me of the UN DESA data portal, where you can find this dataset and many others

The idea is to use open data to create a GIF, much like the ones created by Aron Strandberg but his maps look much nicer. The output of this script is a map like this one:

[![enter image description here][1]][1]

Now diving into the code. First, let's load the necessary libraries and get the data. As of this writing, the current version of gganimate has a bug that messes the aesthetics of the .gif file. As a temporary solution, I've intalled an older version of the package, [as recommended by the author of the gganimate, David Ro

THIS SCRIPT NO LONGER WORKS! Twitter has rolled out a fix for the web client hack. (Original text: Force enable cramming (280 character tweets) on Twitter. Use TamperMonkey. NOTE: Stops working when you switch pages, refresh to fix.)

As of 7 November 2017 everyone has access to 280 characters in supported clients, so you no longer need this script!
