This is my first blog post (Christmas Eve 2013)

Wow - never was sure I would start a blog of my own, but here I go. 

View of San Francisco from Alcatraz

My plans for this blog are to discuss my experiences with technologies (mostly smartphones, but others from time to time) and how they might be used by geographers. For the past 17.5 years I have been privileged to serve as a faculty member in the Department of Geography at Oklahoma State University, and a large portion of my work has revolved around geographic information systems and other technologies.  Over the past few years I have come to believe that mobile devices will become more and more common and important in our daily lives and in the activities of geographers and educators. This confluence is an area where I feel I have some expertise, and I hope that my experiences will aid others as they move through their own uses of technologies.

If you have any questions, comments, or issues you would like me to address, please feel free to leave them here or to contact me directly.  

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and/or simply have a wonderful holiday season!!
