Chad, very cool. Is that just a hobby of yours, or did you actually work in the industry?

I'm a geologist by training, but worked in the GIS/cartography realm for a while; I titled myself "Map Monkey". Now I built GIS-based models that simulate water-quality in rivers/streams, so I get to make watershed maps on occassion (but not as many as I would like to).
BTW, I think that your "Remember personal info" may not be remembering me?? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong??

No, I am doing something wrong. It's not you. The immediate problem with my site is that I don't rely on blogging tools, such as WordPress or Movable Type. I do it all myself.

The "Remember Personal Info" is just a few JavaScript functions, but I am having trouble getting it to work.
I am toying with it, but nothing gives. In the meantime, maybe I should just take that option off for now, since it's not working.

Cartography is great, isn't it? I too love maps. As a matter of fact, I just got my copy of the new Geology of South Dakota from the SD Geological Survey. It's a beaut. I used to make maps and still get to on occasion at work. Begin shameless plugI have some of my maps I've done over the years up here.End shameless plug
If I had my way, I would write code and make maps all day long. I could never run out of ideas for cool maps to make.
