Return on Non-Investment

Posted on 2021-04-07

Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of participating in a panel discussion on Clubhouse, hosted by Todd Barr and Jordan Cullen, and including Will Cadell of SparkGeo. Clubhouse seems to be a really convenient venue for setting up such a forum with low barriers to entry, so that was enjoyable. The topic of the discussion…

BigQuery and Koop

Posted on 2021-03-22

As I continued my experimentation with BigQuery, I found myself wanting to more easily use it with my regular GIS tool set. BigQuery has a lot of powerful analytic capability, but the SQL console is intimidating for the casual user and the GeoViewer tool is fairly limited. As I began digging deeper in my previous…

Routing with BigQuery and ArcGIS Platform APIs

Posted on 2021-03-11

This post is a continuation of last month’s post about analyzing location change with BigQuery. At the end of that post, I was already thinking of ways to extend the analysis and visualization. I decided to take the opportunity to explore Esri’s recently-announced ArcGIS Platform APIs. These APIs are the same that have been available…

Watching COVID-19 Data for Your County with PostgreSQL and Node

Posted on 2020-03-31

I have addressed the topic of triggered notifications a couple of times on this blog previously. I’ve taken the opportunity to apply the technique to a current use case – the ability to get notifications whenever the confirmed count of COVID-19 cases changes in my county or surrounding ones. I am basing this workflow on…

Personal Geospatial Workflows, July 2016 Edition

Posted on 2016-07-28

It’s hard to believe, but I last touched upon this topic over two years ago, when my family and I were living in our between-houses rental. One of the goals I had when building our current house was to create a space where I could more effectively work from home. To that end, I have…

Esri User Conference 2016

Posted on 2016-06-07

Aside from a day at the Esri Federal GIS Conference, I’ve been laying fairly low from geo industry events for about the past year. There’s no single reason for that; it’s been more that a combination of things like work deadlines or family happenings have taken priority over conflicting conferences and events. I’ve generally been…

Revisiting Two Old Friends: ArcGIS and PostGIS

Posted on 2016-05-06

Back in the dark old days of ArcSDE, when it first started to support PostgreSQL/PostGIS as a back-end data store, I did a series of posts about how to work with it. Of course, working with PostGIS in ArcGIS was a themeĀ of the early days of this blog, through my association with zigGIS. Although it’s…

Toolbars

Posted on 2015-01-15

The convoluted user interfaces of most desktop GIS software is something I revisit from time to time. James’ most recent issue of his SpatialTau newsletter got me thinking about it again. A while back, I got caught up in a Twitter discussion about it. Tools like geojson.io and TileMill have fantastic interfaces, but they also…

A Brief Retrospective

Posted on 2014-12-23

This is the time of year where retrospectives of the previous twelve months become all the rage as content providers have column inches and/or pixels to fill up while skipping out the door on holiday breaks. As an independent blogger, I have no such requirements and the topic of this post, while retrospective, has nothing…

ArcWhat? I Just Want My Map.

Posted on 2014-07-30

TL;DR: What follows is probably my last post related to the Esri User Conference and is highly Esri-centric. Open-source readers may want to jump off here, or exercise a willing suspension of disbelief. A couple of posts ago, I did something that I generally try to avoid. I took Esri to task for its confusing…
