Wandering down under
It’s official. I’m moving. The fine folks at Lonely Planet have convinced me to abandon good old Edmonton and join their innovation lab in Sydney, Australia.
I’ve been working remotely with Lonely Planet for 18 months now, helping geo-tag their vast array of travel content and building a platform for expressing this content in spatial ways. You can see it already at work on lonelyplanet.tv, Hotels & Hostels, the lonelyplanet.com world guide, and our facebook app. As of June, I’ll be joining them on-site as digital mapping manager and looking to push this work to maturity as well as finding new and interesting ways to provide location-based services for Lonely Planet’s intrepid traveler community.
As for Spatial North, it’s going into a bit of hibernation but I’ll be leaving enough lights on to keep Quikmaps ticking, so if you’re a fan, don’t worry, keep doodling!
