My name is Kenneth Davis and I am interested in data analysis and visualization, mapping, and earth science, among other things. My academic training is in geology, and I have worked in environmental consulting, the U.S. Peace Corps, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the United Nations Environment Programme. This blog explores a wide range of topics, ranging from silly to serious, but the common denominator is using data to make sense of the world. It’s also an opportunity for me to explore new ideas and techniques, and share them with interested readers.

Ken, I dig your site. It appeals to my love of all things geography. Look forward to following and learning from you!
Hi Ken,
I am preparing myself to start a new hobby: drawing (historic) railway diagrams.
A nice example of a diagram I have in mind is in the July 2003 Issue of Trains Magazine: “Chicago Railroads, 1928: How the Passenger Trains Reached the Loop”.
However, I don’t intend to do it as professional as Trains did, but just privately as a hobby
In the process of orientation I came across your post “Swiss Railways Diagram” from Dec. 6, 2013
It was a very nice example of what I would like to be able to accomplish myself but on a modest scale
Would you have tips for me about tools, methods, learning resources?
