Thanksgiving

Hi Guys.

Trust all is well. Good Turkey day here to cap a long, but productive "season".

Did not here from anybody new since last post. That is not unexpected, because guys up north are winding down, guys down south are cranking up.

Kenny sent a notice that he had gotten a new email (not sure of that means he has changed jobs or technologies). Corresponded a bit with Darren about trying to orchestrate a tech presentation/workshop at "the show" some year. I haven't been in a few years and am thinking about going down for year (2011) of our 20th "anniversary" of our graduation. Might see some of you guys, also a way to judge tech status of the industry.

Been busy on a number of fronts recently. Have continued my work with a variety of not-for-profits, helping them use Google Earth for awareness and education about their various messages. Getting a lot of regional notice for work I am doing with the Center for Justice on our local Spokane River - check out the video they just posted on me. Also working with our regional tech support group for public school districts in eastern Washington. Will be doing webinars, trying to set up some pilot teaching programs for kids using SketchUp - Googles free 3D modeling software. In addition to learning more about the use of technology in education, I hope to expand my repertoire of web related skills.

Still doing 3D models that can be viewed in Google Earth. Also producing custom pieces of content that can be viewed in Google Earth - would love to do one on the some aspect of the golf industry (if any of you have any ideas - let me know).

Hope to get a bit more active tracking down some of the guys in our class that are not in the loop yet. Make it a good day.
