So the reason the blog posts have diminished precipitously these past few months is because Amy and I started our own company. I left CommEn Space at the end of October and CORE GIS started up on November 1st. CORE GIS is actually an acronym for Community, Regional, and Environmental Geographic Information Systems. Amy is the president and I am (technically) the managing principal, although for now Amy does not really have any involvement with the day-to-day operations. The work I'm doing is largely similar to the work I did at CommEn Space, although I'm hoping to pick up a few private sector and government contracts to help subsidize the non-profit work that forms the core (heh) of the business. Unfortunately, CommEn Space is closing it's doors at the end of the year--there's more info here.
Several of my former CommEn Space colleagues have also started their own companies, and we are working together in a loose confederation to assist with workload balancing and business development. Josh's Umbrella Consulting site is here, Jessemine's Leesaa Consulting site is here, Karsten's Terra GIS site is here, and Tim's Geocartic site will soon be available here.
So far, it's been great working from home--I have a lot more time with the boys and amazing flexibility in meeting my project commitments. There are certainly challenges as well, but so far, nothing insurmountable. More updates over the coming months.
