NeoGeo Stuff

New word for the night as I was puruising through sights for geography work I came across this term "neogeography" and thought ..'neo what?' I looked it up and it is the combination between cartography and online blogging. I was like "oh wow that is really interesting"! Then I started thinking about what I really want to do which is biogeography and was thinking 'neobiogeography'..'neogeography biogeography'..hmm wonder what that would be like ;-). I went looking more and came across another term "geofence" and was again thinking what the heck is that. It is a virtual boundary on a geographic region.

So I went to one of my sites I check for jobs/internships (The GIS Jobs Clearinghouse) and oh my goodness I came across an awesome internship position opportunity that is still open until March 11th that I definitely would love to have. It's even a PAID internship for $12.50/hr and it's in Illinois (which could be interesting....been there once..it was alright) but I that was an amazing find. I'm so putting in for it. Keep your fingers crossed that they really want me for the spot :-). What is really nice is that the deadline is the day AFTER I register for my classes for spring quarter which I will be starting to take my autocad classes. They are looking for someone preferable with autocad experience.

Been spending lots of time walking dogs this week and in some very interesting weather too (rain, hail, sun, wind, any combination of the above). Friday probably going to go get the boat so I will get to drive the truck back from the other end of the peninsula while the guys drive the boat back down the Canal. Never a dull moment ;-).
