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…

WeoGeo: Now With GeoJSON
It’s great news that the government shutdown is finally over. Many of our colleagues across the geospatial industry can now report back to work, ending a another stressful period for them. During the shutdown, many stepped up to try and fill the gap left by shuttered government web sites that would normally distribute geospatial data.
Using BruTile and MapsUI to Enable WeoGeo Previews
A few weeks ago, my company announced the availability of the first beta version of WeoGeo Tools for ArcGIS. Unlike the previous version, which opened a separate browser window, this new release allows a user to order a data set from WeoGeo Market or a library from inside ArcMap. One of the challenges was enabling…
Announcing WeoGeo Tools for ArcGIS
I generally try to keep my blog separate from my daily work life in that I usually don’t directly blog about the projects on which I am working. I’m going to deviate from that today to make a couple of announcements. It’s been a while now, but you may recall that, about a year ago,…
Getting Started With a Python Wrapper For the WeoGeo API

Ten-Second Tidy
Things have been a bit hectic the last few weeks and that’s left little time for blogging. Quite a bit has happened so I thought I’d do a little round-up (if for no other reason than to clear my own head). [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJa7P6dfmco] In no particular order: Steve Coast to Microsoft (I told you it had…
Clouds
I spent the vast majority of my time at the 2010 ESRI User Conference working the Zekiah/Arc2Earth booth. That was fun as I got meet/reconnect with a lot of people but I didn’t see much of the conference itself. As a result, I haven’t really blogged it. ESRI continued with the “cloud ready” theme that…
Browsing WeoGeo Market Using the ESRI Silverlight API
Updated: This demo application now running here. I will update this demo periodically, as time permits, so keep checking back. At the 2010 ESRI Federal User Conference, WeoGeo announced the availability of a toolbar for interacting with WeoGeo Market and private libraries from within ArcMap. This, combined with Dan Dye’s series of posts showing how…
