So there are all kinds of rumours flying around today about apple’s immenent release of a tablet type device.
From the geo perspective there is some interesting speculation (initially based on trademarks) on the Vector 1 blog and Geek.com about a new apple mapping application (or platform) coming with it. Do we have another disruptive mapping technology [...]
The Guardian reports:
The government is to explore ways of making all Ordnance Survey maps freely available online from April…..Gordon Brown announced the change at a joint event in London today…In the new year Brown intends to publish 2,000 sets of data…
Is this too good to be true??? We will have to wait until April to [...]
Here are the slides I presented. They are all pictures, so you need to use your imagination!
Where2now – AGI North
Taken here.
I really enjoyed the BBC radio programme Archive on 4 – In the Beginning Was the Nerd by Stephen Fry. It is great retrospective in the ridiculousness of the Y2K panic ten years ago and a broader reflection on society’s relationship with and attitudes to computing in the C20.

I’ve dropped it once and it survived. Phew!
I love the slim form (it slides into my bag nicely)
Windows 7 is really just [...]
This is a record for me, here is a copy of my presentation before I have given it…
I am using prezi.com for the 1st time, so it is a bit of an adventure… One issue I have found is you cannot change the tittle (hence “Cloud 1 Text” arghhhh).
I am about to hop on the slow train to Stratford-upon-Avon for the AGI Geocommunity event.
Thanks to John Fagan and Steven Feldman, this year there will be a live event blog on www.geocommunitylive.com which will be aggregating RSS feeds from other bloggers at the event. It should be fun!
Now I need to finish my presentations…
I have decided to move on from Microsoft and Infusion. I have had a great time with Multimap, then Microsoft (and Infusion), over the last two years and learned a load, but it is time to make a geographical and company move.
I am moving my base to Innsbruck (to spend more time in the mountains [...]
