Hi, tooters!
Is this thing on?

Not saying it's wrong, but I can't escape the feeling that states and cities that are opting to go it alone on the Paris Accords are playing right into a larger GOP strategy to gut the federal government. But I'm not sure they have any other choice.

Looking for some satellite tiles that it's okay to scrape for an off-line demo. Any links? #gistribe
What I need is an app that registers my social media contacts to their email addresses. Then, when I get a social media PM from a contact, it sends it as an email to me from them. Then I can respond via email like a civilized person.
The projections-in-GeoJSON thing gets very old.
