I have recently heard about a website called JustAnswer.com. Justanswer.com website lets users post questions on the site. After submitting the questions the user is asked how much he/she is willing to pay for or bid an expert’s answer to the question. Considering the poor economy, and people are more interested in fixing items they own rather than buying new items, justanswer.com has been receiving quite a bit of web traffic from people looking for help on how to do in-house repairs.

I am testing JustAnswer.com on my blog. The right side panel has an “Ask Your Question” input text box that will let you type in a question and submit it to justanswer.com.

In a previous post I mentioned that I was installing and testing the GeoPress plugin for wordpress. I had it running on this blog for several weeks and was pretty happy with it. However, I had to deactivate it today because it was causing a major slowdown with page refreshes on my blog.

I’m working on a document management website for the Santa Rita Experimental Range or SRER. SRER was the first experimental range. Founded in 1903 and administered by the United States Forest Service until 1987 when the University of Arizona College of Agriculture took over administration of the site. The application I’m working on displays a map and query interface to the user, allowing the user to query for documents based on experimental treatment types or study area identifiers. The application uses the PHP CodeIgniter some jQuery and the Google Maps Javascript API.

A few years ago a girlfriend and I decided to end our relationship.  When we first started dating we only had her dog, but because she was a vet-tech over time we ended up with 2 more dogs.  After we split I kept two of the dogs and was at first going to give them away.  After someone offered to adopt them I found that I didn’t have it in me to give them away.  So, I kept them.  Over the years I have grown very fond of these dogs.  I’m putting this picture of them up mostly because they are older now and this is one of the best pictures anyone has ever taken of them.

I just added the geopress plugin to this wordpress blog.  I’m hoping to add spatial attributes to all of my blug entries.

I am using Open Calais’s WordPress Tagaroo plugin to test auto-tagging blog entries.

The Patrick O’Brian Mapping Project has a great map interface showing the timeline of events in World War II.  The time line tool lets the user drag the time boundaries, which dynamically update the map interface.

kaboom.org has launced a campain to help locate public parks and recreation areas.  Please help map these areas.

Toxicrisk.com has a great mashup using the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory database and Google Maps to map toxic waste sites.

Here is a nice google maps based application showing crimes in the Los Angeles Area.
