Bring Out Your Maps!

Posted on 2016-09-22

It’s time again to get into calendar-making mode. A new call for maps was issued over on GeoHipster for the 2017 calendar. We had a lot of fun last year seeing the creativity from the worldwide geospatial community and we are looking forward to this year’s batch of maps. We also learned a lot from the…

“Roads to Rome” Project

Posted on 2015-12-10

I got an interesting e-mail the other day informing me about the “Roads to Rome” project. I don’t normally write items that arrive in my inbox, but this had two major hooks for me. First, I used to do a lot of routing analysis earlier in my career. Second, I am a Roman history buff….

CartoDB, Location, GIS, and Investors

Posted on 2015-09-10

I was happy to read to day that CartoDB closed a $23 million Series B financing round. I’ve been impressed with CartoDB since I first saw it in action at FOSS4G in Denver in 2011. I’ve done a few posts on using the platform, which are starting to get long in the tooth but are…

Desktop GIS

Posted on 2015-08-19

I’ve found myself using desktop GIS more and more lately. While I don’t tend to think of myself as an analyst and I’ll never be confused with a cartographer, it is simply not possible to perform GIS software development without making occasional use of desktop GIS. My typical use cases involve data preparation or query…

GEOINT 2015 – A Day In My Life

Posted on 2015-06-26

I spent June 24th at the 2015 GEOINT Symposium. Despite having worked in the field and related areas for years, this was my first time attending this event and I was only able to attend for one day. It was a bit of a whirlwind and my impressions were somewhat superficial. I got to catch up…

Thoughts on HERE

Posted on 2015-06-04

When was the last time you bought a CD? Come to think of it, when was the last time you plugged an iPod into your computer and synced music from iTunes? That’s what I thought. The fact that HERE may be for sale (publicly, which is somewhat unusual in the world of acquisitions) and that…

Where Ya Been?

Posted on 2014-06-20

It’s been rather quiet on the blog for a while. Sometimes the posts have to take a back seat to work and other things. This time of year tends to be busy anyway due to the end of the school year and its related activities, but this year has also included one move, construction of…

Data, Apps, and Maps

Posted on 2014-04-01

It’s been a quiet month-and-a-half here on the blog, mostly owing to an abundance of project tasks. I recently started a short-term project to help one of my Federal customers extend data source support for an application they have been developing. This customer is technically a new one but the project team is made up…

Arc2Earth: Choose Your ‘Cloud’

Posted on 2013-02-28

For various reasons, I can’t attend today’s inaugural FedGeoDay at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre in Washington, DC, though I’ll be watching the hashtag with great interest. Jack Flood of Arc2Earth, however, has already posted his slides to SlideShare: [slideshare id=16811994&w=427&h=356&sc=no] Fedgeodays 022013 from Jack Flood   While neither ArcMap nor Arc2Earth are open-source themselves, Jack…

Breaking Radio Silence

Posted on 2012-06-07

Things have been kind of quiet on the blog lately due to things being busy at work. I call that a good problem to have. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve written a a lot of proposals for a mixture of potential customers. Interestingly, I’m seeing a lot more call for “GIS Analyst” work….
