This is the blog of a modern day Cartographer thrown into the business world. Over the course of my journeyman's career I have wandered through positions in government, news agencies, consulting corporations and rogue start ups. The hard-earned working theory I have developed is simple. In life, communication is hard work. In business, effective communication is critical. Hence, this blog parallels the location Intelligence practices on www.GeoSteppes.com.

Mapping for the Gold - Olympics Style:Vancouver’s Olympic Venues
My family & I have really enjoyed this year's Olympic saga. Having some co-workers from Vancouver and parts of Canada added "a nice flair" to watching the events. My favorites - skeleton, short track & anything freestyle. Seemed appropriate to give the Olympics its credit with a map related post. This was first posted online at the NY Times site.
