Ever wonder who spends the most on Halloween costumes?

I thought this was really neat, but man what a job to have at ESRI to create these interesting and off the wall kind of maps!

Southeast mapping

This is a map that I worked on in class and have continued to mess around with at home.  It's not perfect, but learning to work with labels and anno this could keep me busy for thousands of hours! 

Newbridge Landslide Hazard Assessment Map

This is a post for our first project in creating a map for the Newbridge landslide.  This was a good project that took some time to get everything laid out the way it should be so it looked correct, and was easy to read for the general public.

Blog creation to showcase better map creation!

I am looking forward to this semester and this class.  I have worked in the GIS field for over 15 years and have seen many changes, good changes, phenomenal changes actually! 

I currently manage The North Carolina Arboretum's GIS system as a part of my current job.  The Arboretum's GIS is a specialized AutoCAD and separate database system that was specifically designed for botanic gardens and arboreta.  I work with GIS on a limited basis currently as a result of our staff reductions, so my hope for this class is to keep my skills current and to add to my resume with finishing either one or both certificates.
