North Carolina GIS Conference
NCGIS was an excellent conference, and this year was my first attending / presenting. Bravo to the organizers, who themed it Mobile and Global, but confessed that Mobile, Global, Open would have been more apropos. To catch screen captures and audio for the presentations, see this temporary location: http://geodata.lib.ncsu.edu/pub/2015NCGIS_Pres/ which is organized by room numbers, so check out the schedule: http://ncgisconference.com/#schedule . My favorite new … Continue reading North Carolina GIS Conference

Refinements on the Tenor Guitar
The following goes in reverse order and documents my current experiments in refining the top of the tenor guitar. No annotations this time, although I will say that the black filler is hide glue with pigment added — technically it’s “Old Brown Glue”, as it has longer open time than my traditional hide glue. I use it here both for filler and as a glue … Continue reading Refinements on the Tenor Guitar
Lasers in Lutherie.
More lasers in lutherie… . Now I’m just getting lazy with some of this work that could easily be done with a bandsaw and hand plane… . Sorry about the poor lighting. Continue reading Lasers in Lutherie.

More images tonight of guitarmaking. This tenor guitar is going to be pretty snazzy, I think. This is my second non-geo + guitar post. See this link https://smathermather.wordpress.com/2014/12/15/and-now-for-something-completely-different-guitarmaking-by-a-geo-geek/ for the previous. I hope you once again enjoyed this non-geo diversion. Until next time… . Continue reading Moar guitarz
And now for something completely different… (guitarmaking by a geo-geek)
Guitarmaking (a subset of lutherie) has been an alleged hobby of mine for quite a few years– from the moment I started my first guitar in 1996 or 1997. Over the years, I’ve continue to acquire tools and wood, and started a couple more guitars. I had lots of fire behind my workshop work 7 years ago. And then I got a new and wonderful … Continue reading And now for something completely different… (guitarmaking by a geo-geek)

Landscape Position using GDAL
Hat tip again to Seth Fitzsimmons. I’ve been looking for a good, easy to use smoothing algorithm for rasters. Preferably something so easy, I don’t even need to write a little python, and so efficient I can run it on 30GB+ datasets and have it complete before I get distracted again by the next shiny project (a few hours). Seth’s solution? Downsample to a low … Continue reading Landscape Position using GDAL
