I’ve talked a LOT about the cloud here, here, here and here. Still, I get so confused by all the different offerings for GIS in the cloud. To keep things straight in my brain, made this spreadsheet to keep track of the differences as I learn them. Below is just a viewable version of the Spreadsheet HERE [...]

Simple Man’s Look at Cloud Sync/Storage

I read the Blogs of some very smart people. They talk about programming languages with funny names, Acronyms of acronyms, big data and how our world will look in 5 years. Usually after a few minutes of plodding through their theories and recommendations I feel quite neanderthalic. SO, at the risk of being a simpleton and out [...]
Inbox To-Do List

I really resent my Indox for being my To-Do List. After reading several articles declaring the benefits of a zero inbox, I try to keep it down to a dozen or so emails (The zero part is just unattainable). I’ve also been inspired to check my inbox periodically and not constantly. But that’s not happening [...]

Over the weekend, my father-in-law smoked a turkey on his gas grill for Easter. It was, possibly, the best turkey I’ve ever eaten. “How did you know what to do?” I asked. “Well, I Googled it.” He said. It’s not what he did; it’s how he found out. I find it amazing that my wife’s [...]

Sometimes, I’m just in a bad mood. And for reasons that I’ve stated in the past, this blog is mostly therapeutic. So the doctor is in. I had one of the best weekends in the past few years this past weekend. It has been followed by a week where everything seems to go against me. I say “seemed” [...]

I’ve taken a few online courses over the years. Heck, I even took a correspondence course back in the day, as in US Postal Service correspondence. You kinda forget about it until the day before a deadline, then cram in the assignment and post it just before the time expires. So it’s not much different [...]
Wrong Directions

How much does it bother to see incorrect Geographic information? Either on the web, digital media, spoken or print? I can’t stand it. I want to stand on my gold-laden atlas and announce to the world that “This information you have just received is faulty and poorly researched”. Now, before you diagnose me with OCD, I’m not a control [...]
