Subject: On the subject of geospatial databases


Yesterday, I was at an IEEE conference entitled "Rock Stars of Big
Data".  The last speaker was from a company that has a logo that's
red, dark yellow, and green.  One of his comments was about a user of
a "new technology which has now been around for about 10 years" called
geospatial data.  ;~(  I helped punch cards for an implementation of a
geospatial database related to the location of individuals with guns
living in King county (the one for which Seattle is the county seat)
as a beginning PhD student in 1970-71.

Sheesh! I did let him know! (Most of you know I'm not a shy person!)
