NYGeog

In keeping with one of many new year's resolutions - many of which have already failed - I've decided to begin blogging.

I plan on drawing from stories about GIS (ie. Planet Geospatial), Music (Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan, College Music Journal), the Environment (No Impact Man) and anything else that I'm intersted in - Brewing & Beer perhaps!

Zillow (a property search web company) just released their neighborhood shapefiles of major US cities. Here's an image of some NYC neighborhoods...apparently Greenpoint has fallen into the East River or is waiting for the G Train!!!
