What"s the Point

A shared interest of doing connected myself with Steve, who in his words, is someone that helps people to understand why their customers feel what they feel and do what they do.This is clearly a process that needs maps.

2024/04/12

In my opinion Sean was SPAR back in the early days of Reality Capture.We last caught up for his Spatial Reality Podcast, but now the time was right to see how Sean would use maps to go from Portland in Maine to New Zealand, very spcifically, Fiordland in New Zealand.

If you want to know anything about standards then Dan is the man. If you listen carefully you can hear the idea for Series 2 crystallising. A wonderful chat about maps with a true gentleman - I look forward to working with the CIAT's greatest self-confessed techno-nerd in the future!

2023/10/06

Me and the Grand Pie Master Flash (Claire Woodier) go way back. We would have first met in 1986 - and we agreed not to discuss it further as we realised it was MANY years ago and we shouldn't dwell on that age thing too long :-) It was a pleasure to hear about ClaireMarketChef's use of maps in her pursuit of the passion of food. A nod to DaveDraws, and some wonderful answers to the questions that matter in the world of maps and life. There's also some discussion referencing Madonna - it

Nick and I go back a long way. The head to head, Photogrammetry v Laser Scanning in 2006 was probably the first time he out-classsed me with his story-telling. He continues to do it today. Nick is a parallel entrepreneur, a wonderful thinker, and a passionate advocate for the wonders of outdoor education and outdoor work.

I was embarrassed to invite award winning radio producer Simon Ritchie on to the podcast, but I was certain he would dismiss my concerns and be up for the chat. I wasn't wrong. It was awesome. Maps and Radio. It's just a different interpretation of Space & Time.

2023/09/08

Iain, in my opinion, is the epitome of Get Sh!t Done. I know him from Comit Projects, Bentley Systems, and BIMBrew - “Pause, Brew, Sup.” He agreed to chat with me on location, and we enthused about maps. Warning - contains an admission of incompetence.
