.. and a special mention goes to this gem from “Directions” from a Top 10 article… I sat down to write my annual list of “10 events, ideas, themes, products, etc. that stood out over the preceding 12 months” but found it more difficult than usual.. In the end, I deemed the list “lame.” – Isn’t this quite odd given that GIS and geotechnology has made HUGE strides at infiltrating mainstrean tech this year and is touching everyone in all parts of their lives more than ever…
