Project Updates:

Yet another exersize to insure that I am not coasting through life on auto pilot.

What did I learn in the past week?

• CSS is pretty powerful. I have already used it to fix my page sizing issue. The next task is to use it to fix problems that occur with browsers that are not IE.
• There are a lack of free web based GIS viewers. I am currently looking at Webview and GIS viewer.
• Adding metadata to GIS files is a pain if you have to do it manually. Kudos to the people that store metadata in a format that can be imported.
• Google can find anything. For example, you can see what the polital breakdown of the registered voters in Florida is. Then you can use this data to make a map and then overlay the map with the latest weather info. Why? This could have an impact on this years election results.

Does my current project have explicit learning goals?

• Mike's Thesis has kept me pretty busy. Right now I am in the process of figuring out how to get it on the web in addition to finding a way that he can use the data at school. After that is nailed down the options are endless.
