"Know Who You Are....

Via NRRW | Note & Point, and designed by Pat Dryburgh, this pretty sums up what I have to figure out what to do with this blog. Best truism I've heard this year.

Stay tuned.

VERY COOL. Big fan of this "mapping" wallpaper. Wonder if they can adapt a PDF I generate myself?

Vancouver 2010 Olympic Maps! With More Cowbell!

On the eve of the Opening Ceremonies here in Vancouver, I’ve seen a plethora of maps and guides to the City and Whistler. It’s a lot of info to take in so I’m going to try and post of the more interesting stuff I’ll be following in the days and weeks ahead. One of the guys from work was a torch runner in Aldergrove (Langley) and brought his torch to work. Needless to say, I was happy to hold it and get into the Olympic spirit!

Compiled by “LBrideau” on Google Maps, utilizing CityCausus.com’s 2010 Free Stuff Guide! This is the go-to-guide for stuff to check out.

2010 Revamping

Bear with me while I try and resurrect this damn thing. One resolution I'll try to keep in the new year, and hopefully showcase some of the work I've done over the last few years.

Cheers!

Earthbrowser

Via the planet geospatial feed, I stumbled upon this... Earthbrowser. Pretty cool. I'd like to see if I could add it on the side as a Blogger gadget. Until then, I'll have to add it here.

URISA BC Winter Seminar 2009

Haven't had much time to blog over the past few weeks - work has been busy with the Pattullo Bridge going down and the recent flooding in the Lower Mainland due to the snowfall. This blog was just one more thing on my plate to fix up so I've got a new look now. That masthead picture is the next thing to change too (as much as I like Vegas.... it's just not geocorrect here...!)

But I do need to mention that I'm off to the Burnaby Hilton Hotel for the biannual URISA BC Workshop. This one will have a range of speakers on the use of 3D tools in the geospatial toolkit. There's been a lot of interesting developments in the past couple of years (much more than Sketchup models of buildings in Google Earth!) so it'll be good to hear what's going on around town.

Later!

Safe Software Open House: Tuesday Dec 16

A bunch of us here at the City are heading out to the Open House next week. Should be good to meet up with some old BCIT classmates and see what is going on these days. Last I was there was back in 2005 - a few of us took their intro FME class.

Here's some of Safe's blogs for further reading....
