bit of an update...

I've gone back and forth with the idea of using GIS and relating it to games. This was supposed to be a blog about that interaction. However, I find that, currently, while Its fascinating to think about the levels of information invovled in game, I find the demand for the type of maps I'd be interested in doing aren't terribly.. useful. I think itd be fun to do custom maps for games, but, I'm not an artist, and I feel that artistry is really huge in fictional cartographic experiments. I've considered doing influence maps for games, because I think it'd be neat to have that tool as a story teller, but since I'm not a storyteller and I know very few ST's anymore, its not as useful as it might have once been.

I'm currently working as a GIS analyst, and I'd eventually like to get back to this blog, but I don't see it in the foreseeable future, mostly because I'm barely gaming at all. I've thought about it on and off over the last year or so, but until I get more energy and time to dedicate to it, there probably won't be any updates. (although I suppose I only have very few fans anyway.. )

I'll keep it around, and maybe someday I will think of a good application.
