A couple short takes on a rainy Monday morning in Arizona

Yea it rains here in the desert southwest even in the fall. Anyway I’m enjoying the cool 80 degree weather and trying to get a couple lose ends tied up on some jobs. A couple of quick links to two interesting posts, first Jeff Thurston continues his Comparing Spatial Information Software series and Dave Bouwman responds to a comment on my blog about his post on the Long Tail of GIS. Both good reading on a “cold” rainy day.

Light Rail Comes to Tempe, AZ

Looks like they are finally beginning to build the light rail station outside our office in Tempe, AZ. They have a simulation to what it will look like (why do people build things in the desert without shade structures? Those “sails” are just not enough). Being an ASU alumni, I love the excavator in ASU colors.
