Update: What's even better... go make your own on the Teehan+Lax. Here's my 30-40 commute, roughly, from home to work. There & back in 10 seconds.

Best of January Links
It's 2013, time to work on whipping this mapping blog back into shape. Hopefully I can add a little more insight on what's going on, map-wise, in and around Vancouver, BC.
LOCAL: Sarah Pearce is giving a talk to the Vancouver GIS Users Group, Wednesday, Feb 6 at the BC Hydro Building downtown. Details.
NATIONAL: ESRI Canada has a new catalogue of courses. Check it out, stay on top of new tech.
INTERNATIONAL: The URISA Vanguard Cabinet picked a new set of Young Professionals to add to the ranks. As one of the original five founding members, it's been an illuminating process, and kudos to URISA for getting us YP members more involved in the organization. Best of luck newbies! (Maybe we need an Annual Report like this group!)
GIS Career Advice: Great advice, as usual, from Bill Dollins: Yes, You Need to Code.
Map-Tastic: The London Tube Map, reimagined with curves and circles.
Best Practices: Lifehacker How I Work Series: Jason Pontin & Katie Pomodoros.
Graphic Excellence, with a Vancouver geographic twist. So many high school memories at Broadway & Granville, waiting for the bus to the suburbs.
Viral Video: This is nuts. A 360 pushup? Now that's just showing off now.

When someone tells me they are starting the BCIT GIS Advanced Diploma Program in September.
(It's not that bad, really. Unless you hate programming and haven't taken any courses before entering the full-time program. Say goodbye to a normal sleep schedule!)

(Pool Safety [infographic]
As a former lifeguard, this Infographic from the Daily Infographic is great....
Pool Safety [infographic]:
I’ve been doing a lot of laying out by the pool, so naturally I found this infographic about pools. Luckily the people at our complex take good care of our pool, and we don’t have a lot of children swimming. But in other settings, pool safety is serious business.
Many horror stories have been told of people getting their hair caught in pumps and drowning. Little did I know, people can drown from simply having their body pulled down by the filtration system. The infographic suggests you do a spatula maneuver to wedge the victim free in these cases. I must admit I didn’t know it was possible to be stuck there, usually when I swim to the bottom the suction is very weak. Also my apologies the infographic seems to only focus on the state of Washington, but I’m sure this info is somewhat applicable everywhere else. [Via]
