Any recommendations for brunch or lunch in Madison Wisconsin? (I’ll be there in 30 minutes!)
Looking down State Street from the capitol steps.
I am SO impressed by how today's #NoKings demonstration in #MadisonWI was organized. There was puppetry, fun things for kids of all ages, and brief big-tent speeches about the importance of standing up to authoritarianism.
I heard someone on west bound #BRT A bus saying this is like a west side reunion on this bus. It feels like half of my neighbors are on this bus.

About 40,000 people here today for quite a show.
This is a fun demonstration with puppetry and dancing. #Madison #Indivisible #NoKings #madisonwi
Productive Saturday morning:
- emailed MPO about their street level imagery data collection (see https://fosstodon.org/@haraldkliems/114679675709311552)
- emailed city bike coordinator about improving wayfinding signage on the far west side of #MadisonWI
Next: Finish editing episode 4 of my Alps bike touring video! And then probably heading downtown for a certain event
#RStats and #OpenData are great: #MadisonWI introduced a set of new housing policy proposals yesterday: https://www.cityofmadison.com/mayor/priorities/housing-forward/2025-proposals
One of them allows the splitting of residential lots under certain conditions. I was curious about how many lots that may potentially apply too, and with the city's parcel dataset and a few lines of code, I had a first approximation.
@joe MATC or UWM should offer something. My partner has taken a bunch of Spanish night classes from UW in #MadisonWI.
Hi! I’m Evan from Madison, Wisconsin. Looking to connect with local folks. #MadisonWI #Wisconsin #Fediverse
When an erstwhile software developer attends a protest...
(Please no comments on the typography...I know a proper coding typeface should be monospace, especially for Python, but if I may channel Fermat, the sign was a bit too narrow...)
New coffee shop across the street is opening today. Step 1: Add to #OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/835544967
Step 2: Walk over and get coffee!

Daughter and husband use their membership a lot!
Hands Off! rally at the WI capitol. I'm a horrible estimator of crowd size, but there were a helluva lot of people there. In the last photo, you can see a sea of people from the capitol steps all the way down State St. to the UW library mall.
Following up yesterday's post, I figured the #MadisonWI 3D data viz was worth a short blog post with code. #rayshader is very powerful, but also has a steep initial learning curve. I learned a lot from @tylermorganwall's and other people's documentation and blog posts, and so I figured I should contribute back myself. https://haraldkliems.netlify.app/posts/2025-03-31-a-3d-map-of-downtown-madison/
