Gateway Disc Sports (.jpg/.gif/.png)

Posted by datonn on December 31st, 2007

In continuing with my bit of a sports theme of late, I thought I would re-visit the theme of disc golf and blog a bit about a great small business that I recently came across entitled Gateway Disc Sports. Gateway is based in St. Louis, Missouri (USA), and “offers 12 different models of golf [...]

NFL Network (.jpg/.gif/.png)

Posted by datonn on December 30th, 2007

I was lucky enough last night to be able to catch a bit of NFL history by watching the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants to finish the regular season as the first team in league history to go undefeated at 16-0. I wouldn’t have had that opportunity had the NFL Network not [...]

Posted by datonn on December 28th, 2007

Flickr is one of those really cool web sites out there which could benefit the most from some image optimization work…as it is the “perfect storm” of web sites related to this issue:
– image-related content being the primary force behind the site.
– many people with limited web development skills posting content.
– [...]

Publication: Campus Technology (.gif/.jpg/.png)

Posted by datonn on December 27th, 2007

I recently stumbled across a new publication that seems (at least on the surface) to be one of interest to both our mapformation and GraphicsOptimization ventures, called Campus Technology.
The “About” page on their web site has this to say regarding their services: “Campus Technology is the only monthly publication focusing exclusively on the use [...]

Posted by datonn on December 26th, 2007

For those of you who either use or provide public transportation, I wanted to make sure and blog about a great service (and a great bunch of people I know) at TransLoc, following a nice five-day break from the every day routine in order to celebrate Christmas with my family. TransLoc is a very innovative [...]

Color and Energy Consumption

Posted by datonn on December 21st, 2007

If you’ve been in web development for a long enough amount of time, you will have eventually come across information about the United States Department of Energy’s report on the colors displayed on one’s computer monitors and their impact on electricity consumption. That innocent little web page has sparked tremendous debate throughout the web development [...]

Posted by datonn on December 19th, 2007

I came across a very interesting blog today as a part of a few “green” searches that I was conducting on Google called ecoIron. ecoIron is a blog produced by Mark Ontkush (Boston, Massachusetts, USA) that “provides reports and commentary on all aspects of green computing and sustainable technologies in IT.” In reading through Mark’s [...]

Google Earth imagery, revisited (.png)

Posted by datonn on December 19th, 2007

As a part of my continuing effort to reduce a bit of “bloat” on the imagery which has been installed on my computer via various software applications, I decided to take another look at more of the .png imagery that has been installed as a part of Google Earth. I focused my particular efforts on [...]

EveryScape (.gif/.png)

Posted by datonn on December 17th, 2007

In continuing in the theme started with my earthmine post from yesterday, I thought I would quickly blog on another similar service that I’ve recently come across called EveryScape. Based in Massachusetts, EveryScape appears to be another service who is trying to get a piece of the 360-degree visualization market.
I actually have to say that [...]

Posted by datonn on December 16th, 2007

CartoTalk came through for me again this weekend with another very interesting discussion related to the delivery of high density 3D street level data, and a company called earthmine. earthmine “is focused on indexing reality, creating a robust geospatial data mine of our urban environments that is accessed from the human perspective, and an order [...]
