Page: Feed: --- ## [A Few Minor Niceties](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/a-few-minor-niceties/) _2026-08-04 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ I recently finished up a first draft of a piece for a client, a map that gave me a chance to try some new things and also exercise some cartographic muscles that I haven’t for a while. So, today, I wanted to just highlight a few interesting odds and ends that came up during the … Continue reading A Few Minor Niceties → ## [On Sin](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2026/07/19/on-sin/) _2026-07-20 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ To make maps, we must sin against the landscape. We distort the earth’s roundness, and we simplify complex realities down to a series of colors and symbols. Ancient trees become a scattering of green pixels on a screen; a horrific battle becomes a labeled dot; and an awe-inspiring bird migration becomes a simple arrow. But … Continue reading On Sin → ## [Urban Relativity](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2026/03/23/urban-relativity/) _2026-03-23 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ It’s been a good while since I wrote a tutorial, so let’s take a moment to learn something new! Today, I’ll show you a way to create scale rankings for cities. This is a technique I have been using for years (and occasionally mentioned), but I’ve never really written it up in useful detail. Scale … Continue reading Urban Relativity → ## [Financial Transparency: Print Sales Edition](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2026/02/02/financial-transparency-print-sales-edition/) _2026-02-03 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ I make most of my living doing freelance mapping and GIS (and it’s been very busy lately, hence why I’ve not written here in months). Clients come to me and ask me to deliver specific things, and I prepare whatever they need. But I also make a lot of things that no one specifically asked … Continue reading Financial Transparency: Print Sales Edition → ## [A Sketch of Isle Royale](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/a-sketch-of-isle-royale/) _2025-07-28 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ It’s been a summer full of side projects here. Which is a very good sign — I used to do many, many side projects, but for the last couple of years, poor health has left me with reduced energy, and my output dropped off significantly. It’s nice to feel inspired again, in so many directions … Continue reading A Sketch of Isle Royale → ## [Planetfall](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2025/05/20/planetfall/) _2025-05-21 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ Gentle readers, I have just wrapped up a fun side project that will be of great interest to a very small number of you. The result of one of the most technically demanding efforts of my career, I am very pleased to share it with you. Most of you will wonder what this place is, … Continue reading Planetfall → ## [Map of the Month: An Experiment](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2025/05/13/map-of-the-month-an-experiment/) _2025-05-13 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ Friends, you might remember that, last year, I wrote to you about how I was finally able to see a dream I’d had for many years come true: bringing together a bunch of map creators onto a single website. I had hoped that this would only be the beginning of our cooperation with each other. … Continue reading Map of the Month: An Experiment → ## [2025 AFC Freelancer Survey](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2025/04/11/2025-afc-freelancer-survey/) _2025-04-11 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ Though it’s been about a week since we sent it out there, I just recalled that I haven’t alerted all of you to the 2025 edition of the freelance cartographer survey that Aly Ollivierre and I conduct. Due to popular demand, we are going to try conducting it annually, rather than biennially. This survey is … Continue reading 2025 AFC Freelancer Survey → ## [A Usefully Useless Projection](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2025/04/10/a-usefully-useless-projection/) _2025-04-10 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ Friends, I’m excited to share that I have just completed a world physical map, in my new asymmetric monstrosity projection. It’s free to download, or if you want to buy a 30″ × 20″ print, you can also do that (and I will be pleasantly surprised). If you download it and print it yourself, I … Continue reading A Usefully Useless Projection → ## [Earn crypto from idle GPUs (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/DzCELMWzW2Dd) _2025-04-10 · **Sponsored**_ Run one CLI command, connect your GPU, and start receiving crypto payouts. ## [Going Live](https://somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2025/01/30/going-live/) _2025-01-30 · Daniel Huffman · somethingaboutmaps_ I know it’s short notice, but I wanted to let you all know that I’m doing a livestream tomorrow.
