A quick amendment to my last blog. I don't know if this happens to everyone, but I couldn't subscribe when I clicked the rss icon using Internet Explorer 9. Instead, it just took me to a page full of blog. However, when I used the Mozilla Firefox browser and clicked the rss icon, the top of the page displayed, "Subscribe to this page using..." with a selection of Microsoft Office Outlook, Google, My Yahoo, or Choose Application, and a "Subscribe Now" button. Very simple.

Funny that Microsoft's Internet Explorer has a problem with subscribing using Microsoft Outlook. Their new slogan: "We have met the irony and they are us." Use Firefox if you have this problem.

Hi All, Last Thursday was our monthly Executive Committee meeting. The EC is comprised of representatives from Novato (Heidi), San Rafael (Bill V), Larkspur (Hamid), Mill Valley (Jill), Sausalito (Todd), MMWD (Gavin), and the County (Laurie). As with all EC meetings, minutes are published on marinmap.org by pulling down the "Public Records" menu and selecting "Agendas, Minutes and Reports." Thursday's minutes will be coming soon (thanks again, Laurie!), but the January and prior minutes are posted. I won't recreate them in this blog, but here are a few notable items: - I have been in contact with the CPUC and PG&E, opening a dialog for sharing mapping data. Member agencies would greatly benefit by having PG&E's utility data included in marinmap's growing dataset. Although PG&E has exemptions from the Public Records Act, there is interest in making their mapping data available to the public. Meanwhile, it may be possible to access this data if only for public agencies' benefit for first response and agency...

Hi all. Here we are in 2012. Sounds almost like futuristic sci-fi. I remember going into the '70's thinking that it sounded like the space age. Now even "1984" is set in the past, so to speak. Anyway, may your space age be filled with good times and realized goals. Just think- we're heading into the teens again :) We had a Marinmap Executive Committee meeting last week. We'll be publishing the meeting notes soon, but in a nutshell: Community Base Map, with detailed shoreline data, due out any day via SDE. If you don't know about SDE, you're either not a member agency, or your Marinmap rep is using it and not telling you about it. It's how we access the Marinmap data warehouse and pull that data into our maps. Think of it as a handshake at the speed of light that leaves a $20 in your palm! That'll leave the nerds rolling their eyes at the inaccuracy, won't it? Back to the Community Base Map, that's a very pretty zoomable/printable base for presentation graphics as well as sort of a google background for the...

I welcome your comments. Well, maybe I should wait to see them before issuing such a bold pronouncement. If you found this blog, you are likely already aware of what Marinmap is, so welcome! ....

Yes. Smile, sometimes is the best answer!
Re: Happy New Year
I doubt I can show you that I am smarter than you are. But, I'm sure I can find some ways to improve the site. Thanks for providing the directions for how to subscribe. I'm still getting up to speed on the blogging world.
Re: My First Blog Entry
I love this site. It has so much useful information that I can get lost in it, in a good way, for hours at a time.

I am wondering who pays for data, the programing, the hosting.....this cannot be cheap. Someone in the county said it was not related to them, that it was private.

Thank you.
Re: My First Blog Entry
Found it. Good idea! Would like to be able to set a profile. I always do pretty much the same thing on Marin Map. (I'm a real estate appraiser.) Also, there were some things about the old interface that were more convenient. Functionality that used to be on the "surface" is now buried, and that translates to more time spent digging out info.
