Why GIS is fun…..
Why is GIS fun? It’s the people. It’s also the data and the maps but mostly it the people. I had the pleasure of meeting Jo Dyson, GIS technician at the University of Worcester. We met online at The GIS Forum a while back dealing with some sort of GIS Problem. Emails shot back andforth concerning GIS, Britain, and the ability to get kicked out of every pub in Britain.
Jo – and she won’t mind me saying this – is quite an excellent chef by all accounts. No – I haven’t eaten anything she has cooked but if you can pull off a site like http://joskitchen.wordpress.com/ , you’re doing something right.
A few months back Jo had a problem and I helped her work her way through it. A few weeks after that:
I got a package in the mail. From Britain. A Cupcake. A knitted Cupcake. A small token of thanks from many many many miles away.
Cupcake with Cat
Cupcake on Me
A cupcake is exactly why I enjoy my profession. No – it’s not always lucrative….it is not always fun. But every now and then something exceptionally funny and cool happens. Please stay tuned as the cupcake will go on several adventures in and around Chattanooga.
