Welcome to free gis data
Ya i know, you might be thinking, what, another resource listing free GIS data resources??

Infoterra and BlueSky announce GeoPerspectives
Infoterra Ltd and BlueSky Ltd have launched GeoPerspective, a new suite of airborne acquired geospatial data. From the company… Building on the most successful nationwide aerial survey previously marketed as UK Perspectives, GeoPerspectives has now redefined the standards for quality, type and coverage of aerial-based geographic information. GeoPerspectives is delivering the next generation of data for England & Wales using the latest digital imaging technology. This enables the simultaneous capture of RGB and colour infra-red imagery and, via automated processing, the rapid creation of digital terrain and surface models. See www.geoperspectives.co.uk – Note, James from BlueSky wanted me to remind reaers that the annual AGI (Assoc. of Geographic Information) conference is taking place in London next week (12th-14) see www.agi.org.uk
another ESRI uc conference video and creepy cello guy??
I was just surfing youtube and found a 7 minute video from the ESRI UC. The video was posted by a group that calls themselves gisnation (sorry but I’m not familiar with them – think veryspatial knock-off!). Anyway, 3 gisers offer up a 7 minute take on the conference from the comfort of their hotel room (actually it looks like a motel) One funny bit though is their reference to “creepy cello guy”… if you were at the event and walked around the upper level you may have seen this guy and yes indeed, he was a bit creepy! The cello playinng was pretty nice but the whole package was definitely creepy. Made me think of middle age Fabio crossed with Mick Jager, gone classical! Anyway, turns out “cello guy” is actually a pro and has his own website etc… if you want more info about cello guy see Marston Smith’s website at http://www.marstonsmith.com/main.html – if you want to see the ESRI videoblog see youtube and search “gisnation”
Blogger beta upgrade
In case any readers of Planet Geospatial are wondering why all of a sudden all the posts from my anygeo blog have reapeared it’s likely due to the fact that i just “upgrade” the blog to blogger beta. Apparently it recreated/republished everything and as a result planet geo reindexed a bunch of posts as if they were new. James, sorry about that and hopefully the migration doesn’t freak out anything else… a good test i guess!
