GIS blog-a-gaga
So, you've probably noticed the blogroll. The GIS stuff is a large part of what I've been reading on vacation. Now that I'm back, it's time to put it to some good use.
And speaking of good use, here's a scary story of a guy who harvested 250,000 Amazon wishlists and mapped people based on keywords from their lists. Since you can browse wishlists by first name, view last name and hometowns, and then search for home addresses using other interweb based databases, you can map what people are reading (or, at least what people wish to be reading). Clever!
On a more altruistic note, here's the story of folks using GIS in the field to help in tsunami relief efforts.
The library didn't fall apart in my absence. Big surprise there. Officially started fishing around with server-based GIS yesterday. It's the beginning of a really big project.
