OK, so I write a lot of stuff about agile and Scrum, but my site is called GeoScrum.  Once in a while I should post something about GIS or geography right?  Well, here it is.  Think you’re really good with Google Maps, Google Earth or Virtual Earth mashups? Test your geographic knowledge to see how well you really know your world with this little map app.  (If you can’t reach this map directly from the post, you can also check it out at my site www.chrisspagnuolo.com or at http://www.cafetravel.info/geography/?c637=0b66.  If you really rocked, let us know your high score in the comments area of this post.  Read the rest of this post

While I was checking out one on of my favorite blogs/websites (Guy Kawasaki’s How to Change the World) I noticed  a button on his site that linked to Guy’s Visual CV.  It was way cool.  Visual CV is a new online Visual Resume site.  Not only can you include the usual resume fodder, but you can add portfolios, videos, writing samples, audio clips, code samples, links to your websites…you name it..for FREE.  So, if you’re out looking for a job consider using this instead sending a paper resume.  As a hiring manager, I’d much rather get rich content like this than a lame Word resume.  And if you’re not looking for a job, it’s a great way to promote yourself to your customers and clients.

It’s not often that I write about geography or maps, but our team here at Data Transfer Solutions primarily develops Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software for making maps.  But we’re not the only ones making maps these days.  There is a little, otherwise nondescript, bird known as the white-crowned sparrow that doesn’t need any help at all from software or computers to make maps.  These little birds summer in Alaska and winter in Mexico and the southwestern United States.  And scientists have recently proved that during their long migration, they navigate using maps.  Yes maps…and they create the maps themselves!  Read the rest of this post

I don’t often give shout outs to software products, etc., but a few people asked about the photo collage on my recent post about the Agile Development Practices Conference. I made the collage using a cool application called Ript (free download available).  It was developed by an agile development team at Oxygen Media (some of whom we met at the conference).  The Ript dev team even has a blog with thoughts from the team.  It’s an awesome little application and I plan on using it plenty in the future.  Here’s a sample of what Ript can do.
