I moved to a new blog awhile back. I post to Geospatial Technologies in Education. All the posts from this blog have been ported over there. Follow over there because I don’t use this site anymore. I keep this blog alive because I like all the sidebar …

As of January 1, I was laid off from my geospatial technology support position at Vassar College. I started the GIS at Vassar blog for myself, so that I could do my job better, to keep track of links to useful web sites, to remember Google Earth KML ne…
I have finished up my Google Earth project for the Grenadines. If I didn’t have grant proposals, papers, job searches and interviews, and other mundane tasks like that, I would have completed this project in about six weeks. That’s the way it goes some…
Taking Technology in the Field: Data Collection and Mapping on a Tablet PCView more presentations from Meg Stewart.I was invited to give a talk this afternoon as part of the CERMES brown bag lecture series. It was nice to show marine-based people the u…
The Grenadines MarSIS project web page now links out the the KMZ file that I’ve been working on. Find it here. You can also get the nautical chart. We made a video to help folks navigate the many layers of geo-data. I think it might help since there ar…
You know those times that you have a large scanned map of your field area or project site and you want to use Image Overlay to add the map to a Google Earth project? If you want the file size to remain small and portable, you need to re-sample the map …
The big news this past week was Steve Jobs’ throwing the coverlet off of Apple’s long-awaited iPad. Though it has long been rumored that Apple would make a tablet PC, none had materialized. The wait continues. Touted as a ‘tablet PC,’ the iPad is not …
While traveling to St. Vincent, Grenada and Union Island this past November, I took some video of our workshops and the intervening travel between workshops. Kim Baldwin, PhD student at CERMES, and I were there to talk about her MarSIS marine mapping p…
I don’t usually promote clothing in this space but this site, Geo-Tee, crossed my desk and I thought they have some cool GISy offerings just in time for the holidays. They’ve got T-shirts and stickers for the GIS-inclined. Here’s what they’ve got to sa…
I haven’t written in awhile nor kept this blog updated on my project work. I’ve been busily working away at CERMES on a decent first draft of of the Grenadines MarSIS Google Earth file that I discussed previously on my other blog. Though I have a post…
We’re always looking for geospatial data to teach with. Finding data for the U.S. is relatively easy, but finding data for other places has often been more challenging. AfricaMap is a web mapping interface created by Harvard University’s Center for Geo…
There are many ways to add a map to a web page. Here is one more from ESRI. It’s called Mapping For Everyone and it is in Beta. This is U.S. only.What you see above is a choropleth map of the City of Poughkeepsie (New York) by unemployment rate, a rath…
I probably posted my blog post, Calculating Point Locations from One Known Point, Distance and Direction, too soon. I got some more great advice from Andy Anderson at Amherst College, who said it was okay if I shared this here. He calculated out the tr…
I put a call for help out on Twitter and on my posterous blog with a geospatial problem a UWI-CERMES student needed some help with. Though I called it a GIS question, I was called out for not saying explicitly that it was an ArcGIS question. After doin…
Last week was the NITLE Geospatial Technologies in the Liberal Arts conference at Skidmore College. I mentioned the conference agenda here. Please read about the details of how the conference came out here at the NITLE blog and written by Sean Conni…
