This is episode 1 of 4 with Stephanie May (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mizmay/). She is a veteran of the web mapping industry. She was Senior, Technical Cartographer at Apple. Next she was Lead Cartographer at Facebook creating their first global basemap. Her most recent position was Director of Geospatial at Stamen. As such we are faced with an excellent follow on guest from Linda Stevens (https://youtu.be/55urfsPH_ws?si=tDa9bQOluLwApKYj). This is because Linda described how Esri came to dominate the market through educating a global army of technicians accustomed to their software. One may describe them as having the career of 'Esri Technician' with various levels of seniority. This raises the question of what a career could look like if one did not become an Esri Technician. Stephanie May is the perfect person to illustrate that for us. Early on in our discussion we covered her viral kriging analysis of housing affordability in San Francisco. Here are some write ups from the time: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/most-expensive-neighborhoods-san-francisco_n_2967522 https://burritojustice.com/2013/03/20/rent-from-on-high/ https://goldengatexpress.org/43942/latest/news/interactive-heat-map/ https://stamen.com/stephanie-may-interdisciplinary-cartography/ She also recreated a web version of the map just for this episode in the past week: https://mizmay.github.io/RentAffordability/RentAffordability_2013_EBK.html Further on in the discussion we started to talk about the technology behind web maps. She recommended understanding these concepts to make good ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers https://geoparquet.org/ https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/mbtiles/ https://docs.protomaps.com/pmtiles/ The discussion turned to navigation (pardon the pun) toward the end when talking about her time at Apple Maps. Here is my journal publication on wayfinding that I mentioned: https://josis.org/index.php/josis/article/view/21 Also during our coverage of navigation aids Stephanie mentioned an NYT op-ed about flaws in Google Maps: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/10/opinion/google-maps-driving-apps-flaws.html Interestingly, I came across discussion from them also about the need for landmarks in route directions: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/15/science/giving-directions-start-with-a-landmark.html.

Summary: MapLibre Native underwent a significant upgrade to address technical debt and compatibility issues, specifically related to the transition from OpenGL ES to Apple's Metal rendering SDK. The upgrade was driven by a collaborative effort involving multiple contributors, including Stamen, AWS, and the MapLibre community. The project aimed to modularize the renderer, with a focus on achieving multi-SDK support, particularly for Metal. The primary goals included transitioning to direct metal rendering, moving certain operations to the GPU, addressing threading issues, and enhancing shader and layer management. Highlights: MapLibre Native underwent a major upgrade to address technical debt and compatibility issues, transitioning from OpenGL ES to Apple's Metal rendering SDK.

The modern cartographer needs a lot more than mapping software alone to be successful. Map solutions often require a breadth of knowledge across a team of capable people who know how to speak each other's language. That's something Stephanie May learned throughout her career in the geospatial industry. In this episode, the Director of Geospatial at Stamen discusses the nuances of open data and software; shares her philosophies on how a team of cartographers, designers, and developers can effectively collaborate to solve a geospatial problem; and provides an overview the suite of free and public tools that Stamen has created to facilitate such challenges. Stephanie May & Interdisciplinary Cartography

The intersection of the physical world and human consciousness is a playground for designers like Amira Hankin, who know how to leverage both to influence the behavior of an observer. Trained in visual arts and biology, Amira is a lead product designer at Stamen and one of the minds behind Stamen's award-winning project 12 Sunsets. In this episode, we'll discuss the brilliance and mystery behind Ed Ruscha's photography of the streets in Los Angeles and how Amira threw the rulebook out the window to create a novel interactive archive for the Getty Institute.

Eric Rodenbeck is the founder and Creative Director of Stamen, a data visualization and cartography studio based in the Bay Area. Eric joins Charles Waldheim to discuss his work with the Getty Research Institute and their acquisition of Ed Ruscha's Streets of Los Angeles archive.

Like any good product, a basemap is something most people don't notice when it's well-designed. Typically providing context beneath a navigation route or other geographic data, the basemap is arguably the most widely-consumed type of map in modern cartography. However, today's average map user might tilt their head when they hear the term "basemap" for the first time. In this episode, Stamen's lead cartographer, Alan McConchie, talks about his passion for sharing map knowledge with a humble approach and explores some examples of basemaps that help us to define this unsung hero of the mapping world. Alan McConchie & The Maps Underneath

This episode of Pollinate introduces some of our recent client work with Columbia University's Center for Spatial Research. A conversation between three members of the project team provides a deep dive into the ins and outs of using modern technology to create a historical experience centered around 100+ year old data. Dan Miller worked with Stamen's Nicolette Hayes and Eric Brelsford to turn New York City census data from 1850, 1880 and 1910 into a fully explorable interface with enough curation and guidance to tell some meaningful stories. Dan Miller, Eric Brelsford & Mapping Historical New York City

While there's beauty in the act of observing the world, there's more than a little artistry in the practice of deciphering and communicating it. Weaving several complex threads into a coherent visual narrative can be quite challenging and sometimes you need to find someone who can help you make sense of it all! In this episode, Catalina Perez, information designer and longtime Stamen collaborator, talks about her transition from teacher and architect to interdisciplinary designer and how she's carried her passion for explaining things into crafting visual communications. Catalina Perez & The Art of Explaining Things

Combining scientific research with spiritual illumination is hard work. But when you're presented with an idea for a map of emotions by some of the world's top emotion researchers and the Dalai Lama himself, you rise to the challenge. In our inaugural episode, Stamen founder Eric Rodenbeck discusses the difficulties and breakthroughs of bringing such a task to fruition and his personal and professional journey leading up to the creation of the Atlas of Emotions. Eric Rodenbeck & Mapping Emotions

We at Stamen are proud to announce our very own podcast called Pollinate (written as PLN8 because it's edgier and vowels are a thing of the past). PLN8 is a monthly podcast where we dive deep with people on the trials and triumphs that led them to where they are today, lauding the projects and practices that turn our heads towards patterns and stories uniquely told through visual media. We hope you join us as we appreciate some great works and discuss what the future holds for visual design and storytelling!

Prepare to blush as we explore the unusual, ingenious and sometimes even deceptive ways plants are gettin' it on for the survival of their species. Plant sex is real, it’s happening all around us and it’s not just up to the birds and the bees. Our flowering flora have honed a whole range of different reproduction processes over hundreds of millions of years to pass on their genes - and some of them, are just down right amazing. In this slightly raunchy episode of Branch Out you'll also hear about the incredible scientific efforts to make sure some of our most endangered plants, like orchids, can keep gettin' it on.

El destacado doctor y microbiólogo búlgaro Stamen Grigorov es conocido como el descubridor del yogur. Además, contribuyó al desarrollo de la primera vacuna mundial contra la tuberculosis.

Great episode here folks! We have Stamen's CEO Eric Rodenbeck on the show to talk about "Visualization Going Mainstream". Moritz took inspiration from Eric's Eyeo talk "And Then There Were Twelve – How to (keep) running a successful data visualization and design studio." and decided he must come on the show. Stamen is a design studio in San Francisco founded in 2001 by Eric. They have been real pioneers in data visualization and cartographic mapping with the production of great apps and libraries such as Pretty Maps, Trulia Hindsight, Crimespotting and many many more. (See also our episode with Mike Migurski) With Eric we discuss a broad range of important topics including: how to manage a vis business, how to have an impact with visualization and visualization success stories.

Information visualization is becoming more than a set of tools and technologies and techniques to understand large data sets. It is emerging as a medium in its own right, with a wide range of expressive potential. Stamen’s work in visualization and mapping is among the most high profile online today, with the live dynamic displays at Digg Labs and Cabspotting being just two of many examples. The studio’s approach is deeply pragmatic, always starting with real data and aiming to work with graphics on screen as soon as possible. Though all analysis is a work in progress, a project is usually finished when it shows something nobody has seen before, or builds a vocabulary for describing a system, or offers more questions than answers. And then the process begins again. Rodenbeck will provide an overview of the studio’s recent projects, and insight into the studio’s working process. Eric Rodenbeck is founder and creative director of Stamen Design. He is a 10-year veteran of the interactive design field, and has spent this time working to extend the boundaries of online media and live information visualization. Eric led the interactive storytelling and data-driven narrative effort at Quokka Sports, illustrated and designed at Wired and Wired Books, and was a co-founder of the design collective Umwow. He has lectured and spoken at Yale University, the University of Southern California, numerous O’Reilly technology conferences, Esther Dyson’s PC Forum, and South by Southwest, among others. Eric studied architecture at Cooper Union in New York City and received a B.A. in the History and Philosophy of Technology from The New School for Social Research.
