#OpenHistoricalMap now has coverage of #SJC airport from the 1930s to present. From the air, you start to get a sense of how much the airport and the entire #SouthBay have grown over the years. https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=17/37.36350/-121.92384&layers=O&date=2009-11-21&daterange=1923-01-01,2023-12-31

First, go #vote. Then, join the #SouthBay #OpenStreetMap community for an introduction to OSM’s voting system for tagging proposals and a status update on some proposals that could affect the #sidewalks and #crosswalks we’ve imported into OSM.

Map Night starts at 7 PM PST online: https://www.meetup.com/open-source-san-jose/events/296829046/

The last few photos of the Scarborough taken last September, through the streets down to the harbour. Love visiting the town when we stay in the area.

Why are the Cargill salt flats in San Jose all different colors, if it's all the same water?

There are well over a thousand land surveyor’s offices in #OpenStreetMap, but only two have been mapped in the #SouthBay so far. Actually just one; the other is in the aerial imagery flyover business, but I guess we couldn’t think of a better tag for it. It didn’t help that, until a couple years ago, the “office=surveyor” tag was defined as the office of a pollster, who also conducts surveys. Oof.

What if OSM’s #micromapping tendencies could complement the #surveying industry? What do we have to learn from surveyors’ precise methods? Join us tonight for another South Bay Map Night where we can brainstorm these ideas and anything else that comes to mind.

New hiking review on my website!

Madrona Marsh Preserve
★★★★★

One of my favorite places to walk in the South Bay: the last remnant of seasonal marshes that once covered the western part of the LA basin.

It’s a Tuesday evening on another odd-numbered week. There’s nothing special about odd-numbered weeks, except that apparently there’s more than one way to count them, and as usual #OpenStreetMap has standardized on the non-U.S. way. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours/specification#explain:weeknum

The other special thing about odd-numbered-week Tuesdays is that it’s when #SouthBay OSM gets together for their online Map Nights. Come join us for some map-related chatter and learn how to map points of interest with their opening hours and more. https://www.meetup.com/open-source-san-jose/events/295945053/

Please lend your voice in support of Metro's South Bay Rail Extension project. Some bad actors are trying to sabotage a project that has great support from the people who actually live in this area.

Seems some 17 Assembly Democrats, some in office in South Bay need some constituents to explain to them how important species extinction is. They get a lot of fossil fuel money, apparently. Details in article. https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/110929241298180330

San Jose Animal Care and Services is full, and they're calling for help from the Bay Area community to adopt or foster one of their animals.

San Jose ACS no longer has the capacity to take in healthy dogs or cats. As of Tuesday, the animal shelter has more than 900 animals, with 745 of them being kittens.

Stepping out the front door this afternoon to walk the dogs in #southbay #sfba and boy it sure had that cold air it could snow smell, and it was very chilly out. Been a while since I had that sensation. That’s not natural around these parts, I don’t expect it will make good on that promise, but brr it was cold

An alternate #perspective on San José University's Tower Hall.

I love the #contrast / tension here between natural and human-built: how the ivy seems to almost consume the building, and how the lone palm tree reaches above the peak of the roof.

This is the oldest #SJSU building, constructed in 1910 after the 1906 quake destroyed a previous building.

A vertical perpective of SJSU's Tower Hall, shot from the base of the building looking up at an extreme angle.

The building is constructed of reddish brown bricks, and is largely covered in ivy all the way to the top.

The top of the image is a light blue sky with wispy clouds. A single, very tall palm tree rises on the left, from this perspective seeming to reach taller than the building.
