Giants Win Super Bowl!!! What a great game last night.
Low-scoring but exciting none the less. Eli was poised and the G-men's defense was relentless.
How bout that Tom Petty too!? The Super Bowl is really migrating away from crappy half-time shows and that's definetely a good thing. 86 the American Idol pre-game nonsense though. After the game Pam Oliver spoke to Plex, it's rumored that afterwards he went on to speak about the future of spatial data. Rather than quote this unsubstantiated claim I'll point you too a recent blog on this topic:
Jeff Thurston's Vector One blog discusses the plaguing questions about data quality, the problems with it and why it may be necessary to invest in high quality data sooner rather than later

-A project is really having problems and causing them to realise that “oh-oh, something is not working right here and our data is part of the problem.”
-An outside source working with the project says, “hey you guys, your data is really not up to par and our data is - get your data in order” (politely to begin with).
-Certain outside parties are impacted by bad data (like cars running off roads, pipelines that don’t quite meet and Airbus A380 wiring that simply causes headaches and delays - errrum).
-The server keeps going down. It can’t seem to compute the way it is supposed to compute and give answers, because the data is not properly stored within it to allow it to be processed. Not only that, it takes forever.
