For those educators out there in the audience, you might be interested in VirtualGlobes promotional give-away of a one-year subscription to EarthSim. I wasn’t aware that EarthSim existed until yesterday, so I can’t offer a review of it just yet, so head over to the VirtualGlobes.org site to find out more about the give-away and [...]
I forgot to mention it on this weeks podcast, but I do want to wish everyone at Slashgeo a happy anniversary and many more to come. I may not contribute as much as I could, but I think that Slashgeo is a great resource and I encourage everyone to check it out and join in. [...]
Those of you who have accounts on our forums probably received a notice of a private message on Thursday. Since the spam has spread beyond the forums themselves and since we haven’t had a lot of traffice since the first week, we are making them go away. We still think that forums are a great [...]

Farallon Geographics has released 2 podcasts (one in early Feb, the other in late March) under the title ‘GIS and Location Technology’.
