New Directions

Posted on 2023-01-24

Since the first of the year, I’ve been on my own. After considering a number of really compelling job offers, I decided to start my own company and take a contract position with company doing work that’s meaningful to me (more on that in the future). I’m also picking back up with some GIS work…

QGIS and a Small Passion Project

Posted on 2022-08-20

When he was in the Air Force, my father served on Air Force One under four presidents – Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. He was on the engine crew and got to see a lot of the world over the course of those administrations. I grew up with Presidential memorabilia all through our home: signed…

A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to a Calendar

Posted on 2016-10-26

The call for maps for the 2017 GeoHipster calendar has closed and review is underway. I haven’t begun collating the responses yet, so I have no idea how it will turn out, but I can say that, for me, the process so far has been personally rewarding. I was not involved in the making of…

GeoHipster Call for Maps

Posted on 2015-10-05

Earlier this year, I joined the newly-formed advisory board for the web site GeoHipster. The site, and specifically the Q&A interview format with people working throughout the geospatial industry, had rapidly developed an audience and the logistics had outpaced the ability of the site’s founder, Atanas Entchev, to keep up. So a group of us…

Today is World Diabetes Day. It also happens to be GIS Day so I thought a map (not mine) of new diagnoses would be in order: To learn more about Type 1 Diabetes, please visit the JDRF.

How long until the ads stop?

Posted on 2012-11-06

In celebration of this day when the non-stop political ads, robo-calls, junk mail, and social media posts *should* finally come to an end. I threw together a little map to show the latest time at which polls close in each state. This should represent, state-by-state, the time (EST) at which you can safely go back…

Mowers and Maps

Posted on 2012-08-18

I was mowing the lawn today and trimming with the push mower pictured below. If it looks old, that’s because it is. I first acquired it in 1978 when it was given to me by neighbors that were moving to an apartment near the city, meaning they no longer needed it. It still starts on…

Quilted Map of Monongahela National Forest

Posted on 2010-05-18

I found this map on display at the Cranberry Glades visitor center in West Virginia (click any of the pictures to enlarge them): One of the rangers working there told me it is to scale (although the quilt itself lacks any indication of scale). The next two pictures are close-ups showing the north arrow and…

Time to Kill the Red-Blue Maps

Posted on 2008-11-05

Now that the election is behind us, I have a little time to ponder one of my hopes for the future in our little corner of the world. I would really like to see the concept of the binary red-blue election map put out to pasture.
