The One Where Nathaniel Kelso Hugs the Cliffs of Dover

It was great having Nathaniel Kelso on to talk about the San Francisco Giants, Stamen, Natural Earth, SOTMUS, and NACIS. The video is below and the IRC log is on the WeoGeo Video page with many of the links that were talked about.

This Week’s Hangout With Nathaniel Kelso :: Cartography in the Public Domain

Just a friendly reminder that Wednesday at 10am PDT our special guest is Nathaniel Kelso, cartographer at Stamen Design and part of the Natural Earth project. Natural Earth is used by many as a basemap (including WeoGeo) and is available as a public domain dataset. We’ll be talking data, cartography, and what it means to be a cartographer in a digital world. Nathaniel will also share highlights from the NACIS Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon.

We’ll be talking on the IRC channel again so either show up to the Hangout page on WeoGeo or better yet, point your IRC client to #hwjf on chat.freenode.net.

We’ll see you Wednesday at 10am PDT!

The Giants Win the Pennant

It just never gets old saying that!

Scoots is the NLCS MVPScoots is the NLCS MVP

Holliday’s a bum and Scoots enjoys rain. What a series!

I had to look up who we are playing in the World Series, some expansion team from the junior circuit. The good news with all this is you get to enjoy the Giants for at least 4 more games (unless the Tiger’s somehow win 1 game). My choice would be for the Tigers to get at least two so the celebration can happen in San Francisco. I looked up Detroit on a map and it it appears to be in or near Canada, who would have thunk….

Goes Without Saying

GIS Professionals” program applications to perform analysis. Thus in my mind you are a programmer. Act like one and learn Python.

Just JumpJust Jump

You wouldn’t jump from space without a parachute and you sure as hell don’t want to do GIS without Python.
