This Looks Worth Watching

Penn State Public Broadcasting is working on what they are calling the Geospatial Revolution Project, "an integrated public service media and outreach initiative on the brave new world of digital mapping."

The project team is looking for support and partners to help develop a full-length television program, outreach materials, a web site, and a program to work with educational partners. Based on the trailer posted on the main web page, this will be a high-level look at geospatial data and tools and their proliferation and importance in everyday life.

Frankly, it looks very slick, comprehensive, and fascinating. I look forward to firing this program up as a way to answer my Mom and Dad's curiosity about what exactly it is that I do with "all this fancy computer mapping stuff."
