Sledding Fun!

In this week’s Motivational Monday episode, I move away from the nose-to-the-grindstone topics of late, and discuss how we need to make sure we’re having some fun, too!

Really, what are we accomplishing with greater productivity and profitability if those endeavors do not improve our lives?

Motivational Monday: Celebrate Your Daily Successes

February 18, 2013 in Associate Membership, Business, Business Practices, Business Videos, Continuing Education, Geomatics, Land Surveying, Members, Professional Land Surveyor Practice, Videos, Vlog

Seeing is Deceiving…So is Negativity!

In this new feature I want to start everyone’s week off with some motivation for success in the week ahead. In this episode, I discuss how to build on positive experiences by celebrating your daily successes.

Too often, we are crippled by negativity and place our focus on what went wrong or wasn’t finished on any given day.

Motivational Monday: Conquer Fear Led Avoidance

February 11, 2013 in Associate Membership, Business, Business Practices, Business Videos, Continuing Education, Geomatics, Land Surveying, Members, Professional Land Surveyor Practice, Videos, Vlog

Motivational Monday

In this new feature I want to start everyone’s week off with some motivation for success in the week ahead. In this episode, I discuss how we too often allow ourselves to avoid the tasks and responsibilities we know we should do. Instead, we choose to tackle the easier tasks, rather than the important tasks.

In the end, the fear that is holding us back, more often than not, is either unfounded, or never existed! Unfortunately, the narrative we keep going in our head tends to build on the fear, further crippling us.

PLS Vlog 004-Survey Earth in a Day Interview

In this Professional Land Surveyor Vlog I’m introducing a new format of Professional Land Surveyor Spotlight interviews. I hope you enjoy the interview and I will have more from time to time.

In this inaugural Professional land Surveyor Spotlight, I interview Scott Warner, RLS, and VP Senior Director & Editor of Land Surveyors United, about their upcoming Survey Earth in a Day event.

“On the day of the summer solstice June 20 2012, geospatial professionals around the world and members of Land Surveyors United (a global support network for land surveyors) will be simultaneously recording survey grade GPS data from thousands of points around the globe, in order to gain a more accurate understanding of the earth’s surface.”

Professional Land Surveyor Vlog 003 – ACSM and NSPS, What Is Going On?

PLS Vlog 003 – ACSM and NSPS, What Is Going On?

Professional Land Surveyor Vlog discusses the proposed merger of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) with the National Society of Professional Land Surveyors.

There’s a dearth of information on exactly why ACSM is now in the place it is in. And, in reading ACSM’s proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger, I’m concerned that ACSM’s supposed “plan” just shifts their financial difficulties to NSPS.

So I’m asking, ACSM and NSPS, What Is Going On?

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Guts Google Earth

AutoCAD Civil 3D Guts Google Earth!

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise … Autodesk Guts Google Earth From AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013

In working with the newly released AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013, it surprised me to find out that Autodesk gutted Google Earth functionality from this latest C3D version. After not finding the formerly available Google Earth commands in the Import Panel on the Ribbon Insert Tab, I searched on Google for an explanation (ironic, isn’t it?).

What I found was the following Autodesk forum post by an AutoCAD Civil 3D Senior Product Manager:

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Guts Google Earth

While I’m not thrilled by getting an explanation that Google Earth utilities are not included in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013, and I’m happy to know that Autodesk will post any potential announcements (if any) on “various channels including Autodesk Labs, Facebook, Blogs and the Civil 3D Discussion Group”, it’s not as effective and open as an explanation clearly posted on the Autodesk, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Product Page!
