After reading a recent GAO report on GPS availability, Anna decided to create a more stable and deterministic navigational system. She loves her soy chai lattes and not being able to use the current GPS satellites to locate the nearest coffee shop scared her. After scribbling on the white board for days, she finally she came across the perfect idea while watching an ad for Dancing With The Stars.
Albert and Bertolomé, two Yahoo Chat buddies from France, verified the mathematics for her new interstellar navigation system. Now, to finish testing she just needs someone to open a Starbucks on Mars -- Google already provides the maps.
Always one step ahead . . .

ReplyDeleteParenthetically, Anna, is location an intrinsic or an instrumental characteristic? I sit alone at my desk pondering these land and location questions frequently currently reviewing a GIS Case Study of Location in Nairobi Kenya.
Anna was debating that with Jack a few months ago on our road trip to Redlands, CA. They started talking about projections of 4D objects onto 3 space so Max and I went for a walk... not sure how it turned out.
