Fruit stripe was my first betrayal

@LenOlyott1 @DatJot It’s literally “information systems” and significantly more than a tool like excel, but ok

@DatJot I appreciate the opinion but I am not sure that GIS should be seen only as a technology. That was never the intent. It is way more than that and an understanding of the geographical concepts is necessary to get the most out of the tools. It is more a tool like Excel

GIS Note: GIS is not all about Rasters and Vectors and Remote Sensing and etc, there is a lot of Information Technology that goes into GIS and if you are wanting to get into Information Technology, I would suggest learning about GIS. A lot of IT people do not know about GIS and knowing GIS could give you an advantage in your endeavors. For instance, IT people generally knows about the following: 1⃣ DNS Servers 2⃣ Active Directory 3⃣ Windows Server 4⃣ Linux Server 5⃣ Bash Shell (Scripting) 6⃣ Windows Power Shell (Scripting) 7⃣ Networking 8⃣ Security (Cyber) 9⃣ Web Servers (Nginx, Apache, IIS) 🔟Databases and the list goes on but what a lot of IT people do not know about or have a whole lot of experience in is with GIS technology such as the ESRI products below: So if you are wanting to get into the IT field, I would suggest learning about this technology offered by #ESRI, but this technology has a high Entry Barrier, which can hinder an IT professional. Here are two entry barriers: ☕️ Cost: You have to purchase a license to work with the technology and it is not cheap. ☕️ Niche Employment: Since the cost is not reachable by your average person, a person wanting to learn the technology will need to work with an entity such as government that utilizes the technology and that will train you on this technology. Once you learn the technology, I guarantee you will have an edge on other IT professionals, especially when it comes to government. Just some food for thought. #gis #IT #InformationTechnology #ESRI #arcgis #ArcServer #WebAdaptor #GeoEventServer #gischat #computersecurity #servers #windows #linux

My point is that we as cartographers need to read the room in addition to reading map theory/design principles

Scale bars, north arrows and coordinate systems are completely unnecessary for most maps today (unless your audience will be actively using them) You could leave them off 99.99% of maps and we (your audience) wouldn’t miss them at all #gis #gischat #maps #cartography

@BeamishJames @pokateo_maps There are not any that I would recommend (I have 10 years in the industry). Your time is better spent learning tech skills like databases, servers, and app development skills (Python, JavaScript, sql)

@pokateo_maps Noob here: I didn’t actually know there was GIS certifications.. are there any you would recommend?

Studying for the GISP totally feels like a good use of time! I'm learning so many USEFUL things! #mappymeme

So with the new name of X, what is the new equivalent of “I tweeted” ??

Earth is washed. I’m ready for Earth 2 to drop.

I’m the Obama of maps 😂 #EsriUC2023

@laserfiche What’s the booth number?

The Laserfiche team is busy setting up our booth at Esri UC — stop by tomorrow and snag a Beverage Process Automation water bottle. #EsriUC2023

@pokateo_maps check out the pizza party hosted by @cal_cgia on Monday night!

❔ #GISchat 🌐🗨️: FOSS4G just wrapped up, the Esri UC is next week, and other geo conferences like NACIS and GIS Pro are coming soon too! What are your tips for attending conferences?

@UWMadisonGIS @EsriUC I am looking forward to chatting GIS with my friends from UW Madison!

The @EsriUC countdown has begun! We're thrilled to be a part of this exciting event and share all the amazing updates we've made to our programs recently. As the anticipation builds, we can't help but share a sneak peek! Stay tuned. #EsriUC2023 #GISPP #UWMadisonGIS

Getting ready to return to the gaslamp for this year’s #EsriUC2023 Here’s me last year with SAG winner and emergency services hawk Zac Swingen of Milwaukee County and Jack at the award ceremony!

A dead tree fell on a Tesla in Los Angeles 😳

Trying to set my schedule for the @esri @EsriUC #gis user conference and it won't let me add both the ALL DAY expo event and any other session to my schedule. Schedule conflict. Lol. Can we please select multiple sessions regardless of whether they conflict? Thx

@tangoclaw Nord Stage 3, Roland Gaia

let's talk keyboards #gischat. What are we working with these days?

I had some fun with this edit 😂

I’ve been posting funny videos every day to the 4 way stop channel on YouTube - check it out and help us grow to 1000 subs!

@MadhouseMuse @la_dorkout West Hollywood is its own city and not in the city of LA

@la_dorkout West Hollywood and West Los Angeles should be flipped.

This Venn diagram is a pretty neat representation of Greater LA (apologies to its creator... I've lost the source). East LA indeed is not part of LA (it's unincorporated). And some argue that West Hollywood is not the Westside (but parts are, if you go by "west of La Cienega.").

@VamonosLA San Diego weather somehow is worse than LA. Closer to the ocean. Cold. Even in July.
