Update

It's high time I update the un-identified void on the day and life of me (even though I don't know if anyone ever reads this thing. At this point in my life I hardly ever visit the blog myself).
This blog began as a class assignment in GeoVisualization.
Well, now, yours truly has graduated with my masters in geography. Last fall I actually taught the GeoVisualization course here at the local university.
These days I'm teaching Intro and Advanced GIS classes.
Jamie and I are getting on well. We are becoming Northwest skiers. Well, Jamie is truly trying; I should actually say he was trying. In January he stopped trying after a fall, a break and an ex-ray. So I'm still trying to ski and Jamie's simply trying to get to the point of walking normally again. We're both getting there.
This summer my sister and her husband are planning a trip out here. Yay.
The warmer months also hold camping plans for Jamie and I. We hope to buy some more equipment (oh how we collect sporting equipment. At least I'm not storing a boat . . . wait, actually I do have a kayak and paddle I left at my parents'. Maybe I should have fewer hobbies). Anyway, this summer we shall attempt to collect backpacks and a tent, and risk being eaten by bear or bugs in the backcountry world. We're both at least a little excited, although I'd rather avoid the bear part of the equation. Oh well. Maybe that's the price I pay for living in the west.
If you'de like the soon my most recent cartography work visit the University of Idaho's arboretum page and click on tour maps, and have a look at the Shattuck map.
Happy spring rays to all in the unknown void.
