If you play this video at an appropriate volume you will either get yelled at by your coworkers to turn it down or to turn it up…ignore the former and share a pint with the latter. And hey, with is more geographic than a band from Newfoundland being used to highlight a holiday we [...]

Feb 11th, 2010 | By Jesse

I mentioned a while back that VerySpatial will be hosting a panel on Digital Media and Learning in Geography at the Association of American Geographers meeting in Washington, DC in April, but keep in mind that while we are many, there are that many more chances for us to get into trouble with microphone in [...]

It is time for those of us in the US to sit down and eat too much turkey (gobbler or tofu) with dressing and ALL of the fixings. It is also time to give our thanks for the bounty of the year. Generally it is thanks for the harvest, but since we are not farmers [...]

As we begin to turn our attention to Remote Sensing for October we wanted to pose a new question and poll…
