Really, what CAN’T geospatial do? Researchers out of University of Padua in Italy took aerial photos of an area just north of Venice and discovered what used to be Altinum, a thriving city that existed before Venice. The site is fairly unique in that it’s one of the few places that haven’t been built upon
Eye-Fi SD Card Adds Geotagging to Pics
Engadget is reporting the release of Eye-Fi’s new WiFi enabled SD card. It provided automatic geotagging for life for all your pictures. The product is designed specifically to work with iPhoto and all things Mac, which should be an exceptionally nice integration into iPhoto 09′s new geotagging features with ‘Places’. The press release is a
Some thoughts on making the UC better
The ESRI sessions are a great place to really see what the people in our field are doing. The diversity is really inspiring. Occasionally I’ll get the random person who’ll ask, “What can you do with GIS?” I’d love to have a copy of the User Conference program to whip out when that happens and
ESRI UC Day 2 Roundup – Couple of Sessions
I caught a few sessions and two in particular I thought were worth taking notes. The first is about return on investments and calculating them for government. Ultimately the presentations weren’t that strong on this topic in that session, but there was a wealth of information about how local governments can develop GIS even on

Live blogging – all times PST and I’ll try to get pictures up as quick as possible. 8:39 – Meet the people around you. I met a nice guy from the ESRI surfaces office out of Denver named Jonathan. He’s involed in the aerospace group out of that office 8:40 – Jack’s running down the
Google Earth Enterprise 3.2 Released
The crew over on the Google Earth Enterprise have a new version to announce – 3.2. The fellows over at Google have had a pretty busy week, what with the big OS announcement, not to mention the offical launch of much of their product line, so it’d be easy to miss this in the diluge of
Google City Tours
Google labs has launched a neat new feature called City Tours. The idea is similar to other sites (like Microsoft’s BING!) in that you can enter in a destination and the site will give you a bunch of things to do there. What’s nice is you get it all laid out on Google Maps, with
Broadband Penetration by Country
As many long-time listeners will know, I exceptionally intersted in broadband adoption world-wide. The US has long been behind the ball on broadband adoption and this latest report does nothing to reverse that trend. The US is ranked 20th, behind even places like Singapore, Denmark, and even Estonia, all places I’m sure most Americans wouldn’t
The Solar Human Hybrid Project – by an 8th Grader!
Anyway you do the math, the SOHH Project is one pretty cool ride. The vehicle holds four people (plus a dog!) and cargo, and runs off solar and person power. It can go upwards of 14 mph and is street legal, which isn’t too terrible for around the neighborhood travel. The whole project was invisioned
Autodesk’s Project Dragonfly
Autodesk has a pretty cool new toy – Dragonfly! The program is an online CAD like tool that allows you to map interior spaces. You can use it to get an idea of how a room decoraction is going to go, or possiblly what can be done with a remodel. Perhaps best of all, you
