where were you mashup
Where were you on 9/11? I was at CTIA Wireless IT in San Deigo and it feels like it was just yesterday. Related to this, I stumbled onto a nifty mashup on platial that is titled where were you on 9/11. the app use google maps to enable users to share their experiences from 9/11. An interesting concept in social networking from platial.. nice stuff. See Ed’s map at http://www.platial.com/edshepp/map/2968
National Hydrographic database (NHD)
The National Hydrography Dataset is now available in a new database design that allows better web-based access and query, as well as truly seamless data that can be downloaded in various extents. The new database design provides a distribution format called NHDinGEO. Data requests in NHDinGEO can be extracted by subbasin, county, congressional district or by topographic map quad. Pre-staged personal geodatabases by subregion are now available on the ftp site ftp://nhdftp.usgs.gov/SubRegions. Select the High, Local, or Medium folder. See also http://nhd.usgs.gov/data.html

Bouwman’s tips on attracting top developers… useful stuff!
In a post this AM Dave has offered up a nice take on what employers might wish to consider to lure the best talent the next time they are searching for a developer. Dave also makes reference to a very useful “field guide to developers” article which many of you will also find to be useful… thanks for the tips Dave! In the post, a list of useful things to help attract developers offers up some very interesting ideas… I like the idea about a comfy chair (a coller stocked with Red Bull, sodas, and other goodies might also be a nice idea too!)
