By 2030, I guarantee we'll all be wearing Zuckerberg's new AR glasses.

Not because they're cool.

Because they're the biggest tech revolution since the iPhone: 🧵

The tube map always pops up when we discuss abstraction... less geography has been removed for this version, is it more or less useful? Easier or harder to read?

After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.

This is a B-2 caught in flight on google maps. I love that you can see the chromatic aberration which is a result of how satellite imagery works.

Typical digital cameras have a single sensor and take a single exposure, but high resolution satellite images don't.

They take one high resolution black and white image for detail, and then take lower resolution exposures for colour.
