First day of #Maptober and today's theme is Tree or woods and I decided to mapp some of the missing trees around the roundabout at the Julianaplein in Groningen. As usual I ended up mapping quite some more details. #31DayOSMChallenge

I expected lots of stuff to happen today, but somehow cycling home at night eating an ice cream wasn't on that list. At least it was a fun day/night out.

Overview of my Kintsugi map laying, this version compared to the previous map is darker. The ocean bathymetry is in dark shades of blue, and the elevation of the land is all in dark greens. There is a large legend and description in the top left. 

The legend contains the following text:

Faults, Volcanoes, & Earthquakes of Japan

This map exhibits the fault lines, volcanoes, and earthquakes of Japan, with these features highlighted in gold to emulate Kintsugi (written here is the Japanese text for Kintsugi, and also in gold). Kintsugi is a Japanese art form where broken pottery is repaired using gold. While these hazards lead to many breaks, the people of Japan come together to repair the damage and persist in the face of the many hazards of their archipelago. 
This map focuses on the main islands of Japan, the full extent of Japan is larger than what is shown. 

Earthquake data from the USGS. Elevation data from GEBCO. Volcano data from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. Fault data from the Global Earthquake Model Active Faults Database under CC-BY-SA license. 

This map was created by Garrett Speed, January 2026. 
Detail view of the area between Tokyo and Nagoya, with Fujisan written in gold. The gold in this version is much more clear. Detail of the text for Fujisan, the gold text in both the Latin alphabet and in Japanese Kanji is very clear.  Close up of the legend of the map.

While retirement typically occurs, after
completing a career and saving and
investing for it, a new trend is emerging
among Gen Z career profe ionals
called "micro-retirement." Micro-
retirements involve taking a one to two-
week break from work every 12 to 18
months.
Gen Z is using micro-retirement to
avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment
in their work, and enhance their overall
well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:
