There are many times during your online graphic design career where you will find that graphic design actually intersects with another discipline and if you learn a little bit about the other discipline, you can actually find more clients. One such area is called Geographic Information Systems, where graphic design intersects with mapping. While a large part of GIS as it is known in short form has to do with statistics and mapping analysis, there is also a large part of it that is based on t
I took a few moments to play with Plazes’ closed beta off and on for the past week. It’s a little odd as a beta because it seems mainly to be a website beta: the plazer doesn’t interact with it, Fire Eagle doesn’t work with it, it’s not coupled to one’s account . On the other hand, the twitter integration works. I suppose the twitter integration is something that i find compelling as i do not have some tight network of friends i can convince to all jump on the Plazes bandwagon, but twitter does

Before making large changes to land use, such as new transport networks, it is important to assess what the environmental impact will be. Ideally, the assessment should be conducted as early as possible and to be useful, must be fast and simple with clear recommendations. Researchers have developed a new environmental impact assessment method for changes to large geographic areas, which they believe meet these criteria. Spanish researchers developed the initial screening process for large-sca
Hey guys. Palin here. In the near future, possibly this weekend, I will be updating the servers with new maps. Since our fast download server is screwed and refuses to work properly, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to .rar the files for the new maps and post the link to download it here on the site, that way we can circumvent the fast download server and just get the maps themselves. I'll include instructions for unzipping and where the maps have to go. More on this later, but I
I’ve just finished revamping the second module of the new online info lit class, “The Skillful Researcher,” a collaboration between the library and University College. The module is on “Narrowing Your Topic.” The students are writing a hypothetical research paper; they are doing all the research and creating an annotating bibliography as their final project. The second module is very important, since it’s where they pick their topic for research, and create a few potential research questions.
My curiosity, as usual, got out of hand as i pondered hiking at Monte Bello this evening and then, picnicking at an overlook to see the fireworks along the peninsula coastline. One year, we tried viewing Bay Area fireworks from the HamCam, a lesson in just how small fireworks are. The flashes between 21:30 and 22 in the 2007-07-04 HamCam movie [.mov file] show the distance view. Once i started locating the fireworks, i realized in Google Earth i could view the landscape. The views from the ov

The journey was memorable too, for th

Google's plans to launch a mapping tool in the UK could be referred to the Information Commissioner. Street View matches photos of locations to maps, including passers-by who were captured as the photograph was taken. Privacy International, a UK rights group, believes the technology breaks data protection laws. Street View has already been launched in the US and includes photos of streets in major American cities. Photographing of areas in the UK, including London, is believed to have started th
Consumer staples and utilities have been the stocks to buy in previous market downturns. Since they make or provide products we use daily (food, water, personal care, electricity, heat), their sales are not as correlated with economic cycles as, say, those of car manufacturers. Six months ago, I looked at how some non-cyclical stocks--Altria (MO), Anheuser Busch (BUD), Coca Cola (KO), Consolidated Edison (ED), Diageo (DEO), General Mills (GIS), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Kellog (K), Kraft (KF
