Just stumbled onto an interesting GIS / Environmental planning firm in Sacramento… See http://www.dangermond.com – what a great name for a company doing GIS!

GIS Dads.. happy father’s day and a tip
With this year’s ESRI User Conference kicking off this week-end you may have noticed that many dads and moms will be on the road… myself I’ll be traveling on Sunday (after breakfast in bed I hope ;0) So a reminder… don’t forget about dad – maybe do something special tonight or tomorrow instead. Finally, a father’s day tip for you dads and Dads to be… about 12 years ago when I had my first child I was working as a GIS Analyst for an environmental consulting firm – yes indeed I am a GISuser too! With the baby coming I approached my employer and suggested that I’d like to work Monday at night so I could spend some time with my son. They were great enough to agree and it worked out very well for all of us. I did my grunt work one night a week.. alone in the office, radio blaring and being quite productive.. no interruptions from the phone, meetings, etc… just several hours of work. Best of all for several years Monday was my day with my son, usually going downtown for a long walk, hitting the park, going for coffee etc… those Mondays were gold and are still a great memory – I got loads of work done Monday nights too! Happy Father’s Day to you Geo Dads!

Here’s a great map of the bars and restaurants in the San Diego Gaslamp for next week’s ESRI UC
Our friends over at GeomorphIS have once again created a very cool map of the restaurants and bars in San Diego’s Gaslmap… this is a must have in your pocket next week at the ESRI User Conference. Print this one out and bring it with you… Grab it HERE about 250KB PDF – From Martha… Coolest addition – The Ivy Hotel and it’s rooftop bar Eden! Courtesy of GeomorphIS! – You can find a larger map and some printed tabloid copies at the San Diego Host booth in the Map Gallery. GeomorphIS www.geomorphis.com
You’ll likely find me next week at Dick’s, the pizza by the slice place across from Dick’s (great for late night chow), poolside at the Marriott, the strip club (great grilled tuna – next door to Dick’s) and at any vendor bash that’s dolling out good food and loads of free beer!
