Like so many others I immediately took the time to download and install the latest and great from ESRI - ArcGIS Explorer 900. I noticed that the file size was a bit larger than the 500 version. Not a big deal, just means that there are more features. Here is a list of things I [...]
With the GeoMentor Program being introduced at the 2009 ESRI International User Confernence many people are seeing this as a new idea. Although to most it seem like new, it has been around for some time at the micro level. ESRI and National Geographic are bringing it to the international level. This [...]
This is a very cool video on the Geospatial Revolution Project. If you want to know what geospatial technology is and why it is so important, then check out this video.
I have found myself watching it over and over. If you are not into geospatial technology now, after watching this video you will [...]
Amanda (@amandahstaub) put together a great list here. Just wanted to pass it on to others.

I just came across this interesting article about Goggle Street View. Apparently a woman has caught her husband cheating when he was suppose to be out of town. Street View captures his Range Rover parked outside of another woman’s house. Apparently Street View has captured others in “sticky” situations. Is this a invasion of privacy? [...]
I just came across this awesome presentation mentioned on GeoMusings. The GeoWeb Community Development presentation was presented at the 2009 ESRI Developer Summit in Palm Springs, CA. The presentation by Alan Laframboise is very professionally done. Although it is ESRI focused, it has some great points about Web 2.0 and social media.
Alan sums up the [...]
I know that I have seen this press release is in several places, but I just wanted to mention it with a few of my thoughts. For those of you who may not have heard, ESRI will now provide Microsoft Virtual Earth data within ArcGIS. This will be released in the ArcGIS 9.3.1 release. Those [...]
