    Corporate Branding

    For those who believe there is no value in "branding" a product or business, I refer you to First in Thrist. It is an excellent read. Despite what we engineers would like to think, an excellent product that performs it's intended function better or more effectively than our competition is only...

    Big Dig

    If I were this engineer, I'd be making sure my professional liability is current. What do you gents think: Engineer, Contractor, or Force Majeure?

    Inserting GIS objects into AutoCAD drawing

    In Land Desktop, the function you're after is under the map pulldown, then tools, and finally import. I'm not sure if basic versions of cad can do this.

    Water as a hot commodity in the future?

    The average household uses about 60-90 gpd plus your water usage at work another 15 gpd plus everytime you go out to eat another 8 gallons plus the unknown gallons of water used to process, manufacture, and irrigate your food, clothes, gasoline, pop can, electricity, etc. Your water usage...

    Water as a hot commodity in the future?

    True enough Ashereng, however, most people don’t use 70 gallons of petrol a day like they do water. That aside, oil is a finite resource that will one day be depleted regardless of conservation efforts and an oil crisis is will occur at some point. It is simply how long it is rationed. As...

    Water as a hot commodity in the future?

    It goes into unusable sources; the oceans through increased impermeable area (storm sewers) piped into the rivers into oceans. Water mining of aquifers (removing water more quickly then they can naturally recharge) is another draw-down of usable sources. Mexico City is actually sinking because...
