Friday!




Picked up Scott Davis's "GIS For Web Developers" yesterday at Barnes and Noble. It already seems like a great find as all of the resources will be open source and also performable on a mac (where ESRI is dropping the ball, except for the few lucky individuals who have intel macs with windows OS)

I'll try to review it as I read it.

Last night I attended an event at Terminal 5 at West 56th Street. Free drinks were served courtesy of Rolling Stone Magazine and Malibu. DJ Steve Aoki performed.

Terminal 5 as a venue is sick. I'll be sure to catch some shows there as the sound/lighting/# of bars seems promising. The bar service was subpar. DJ Stevek Aoki wasn't terrible but seemed more of a party DJ than someone who should be onstage. He's definetely no DJ Z-trip. That said, the music was a decent mix but the free drinks were weak so we busted out early.
