A long overdue .

I take photographs (Mostly of ) which I contribute to and when appropriate also to . I've uploaded over 20,000 photos to and over 12,000 observations to (of more than 3,000 species).

I only post my own photos on this account (all of which are ) and make occasional posts about Wikimedia and iNat.

Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods.

Here is what is missing in the popular based apps (, @CoMaps & @organicmaps ) from being a potential replacement for GMaps.

  1. Photos & Reviews are two most important things that are missing right now. @mangroveReviews and @lib_reviews are here to fill the reviews gap. , @panoramax are here to fill the photos gap.

  2. Crowdsourced Real time Traffic data. I couldn't find any platform yet. Though I saw an empty repo created under the CoMaps project. 🤞

: The "Ashcroft/Mermin Project"
I will try to (likely very slowly) go through the classic textbook "Solid State Physics" by Ashcroft and Mermin and make one or more animation/visualization per chapter.
This will (hopefully) help people digest the topic and/or be useful to lecturers who are teaching about it. As with all my animations, feel free to use them.
The idea is that the animations are a companion to the book, so I will give only very brief explanations here.
