Some pretty good movement this afternoon in my neighborhood on the 7th floor. We evacuated so the engineers could take a look. Everything is OK, and we'll all be back to work on Wednesday.

Anyone with any comments on how things are going at NCE?

Hi guys, I wrote a song to help cheer up all of us stressed out govvies and contractors.

 

Hope it brings you a Friday smile. :)

Thanks Noel -- this is fantastic technology. 

 

I know a couple of years ago when I was driving from Northern California to San Diego, my car broken down somewhere near Bakersfield.  I wasn't able to locate my exact location of where I was.  However, I was able to pinpoint what exits I had passed.  I was about 50 miles from where they finally located me.  GPS would have helped during that situation.

 

Just recently I had a flat tire on my car.  When I called for help, they were able to track me on my cell phone GPS and came to exactly where I was.  This was very reassuring for safety purposes. 

 

This is so STAR TREKKISH!  Coordinates are very important!

Has anyone seen Episode Three of Geospatial Revolution? It focuses on geospatial technology’s role in safety - in times of war and peace - and has a a few great testimonials including Letitia Long, Director, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

 

Watch episode three here: http://acronymonline.org/geospatial-revolution-geospatial-intellige...

One of Acronym Online's blog writers gave GEOINT 2010 a shout out in a recent post:

GEOINT 2010 Symposium – Don’t Miss It

Acronym Online - a new blog dedicated to those in the public sector who work within the 2D and 3D digital design, GIS, architecture and engineering disciplines.

No problem. I thought the video was very well done. I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

Episode One Geospatial Revolution - http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/episode1/complete#

Created by Penn State, Geospatial Revolution is a web-based project that aims to educate viewers about geospatial and location-based technologies.

The video gives a good overview of the history or geospatial technology, modern day uses for GPS, and the role of geospatial technology in the Ushahidi project to aid in the Haiti earthquake relief effort including crowd sourcing to update Haitian maps.
