Yes, that’s right, I am finally back posting. While Jesse has been keeping up with the blog, I have been working on a big demo project for our geovisualization work that has really had me pulling my hair out. But I think it is really coming together. On that note, I just finished looking at [...]
Yeah, it’s 80′s movie reference day around here (at least for me). Some scientists down under have decided to see if they can figure out what global warming is really doing… by creating a “climatic time machine“. The idea is to artificially induce years or even decades worth of climate change on a mini-ecosystem, in [...]

As we near the end of the US federal fiscal year we will continue to see [...]
While at the ESRI UC we stopped by the Sociery for Conservation GIS area and talked with some great folks including Lisa Pierce, Charles Convis, Susan Miller, and Sasha (whose last name I have to look up when I get home). They spoke about the SCGIS and some of its history and activities. Click here [...]
Ok, so this is probably pretty pedestrian for most real geospatial users out there. There’s a little write-up in Digital Trends about how mapping companies like Tele Atlas get their navigation information. However it’s nice to see some inside photos of the toys with a bit of discussion of how they all work. The article [...]
