“Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.”
– Victoria Holt (1906–1993)

To lose only two salesdays each month to fatigue or a desire to wait for a better day to make the call would be to lose more than a full month of salesdays each year (insane… do you see that?).
Imagine if your income reflected your slow days… and know that in the long run, it probably does.
Earlier this month, GIS and Science reported that a map of green turtle nesting sites by Andrew DiMatteo, cartographer for the State of the World’s Sea Turtles (SWOT) Project, won this year’s International Conservation Mapping Competition. The map was published in Volume VI of the SWOT Report and is available separately here (PDF). The SWOT project has published a number of maps showing sea turtle nesting sites and biogeography; there’s also an interactive map. If you know me at all, you know how big a fan I am of reptiles in general, so I’m happy to see so much mapping activity dedicated to their conservation.
Last month Google added some new features to Building Maker and this month they’ve added some new cities. The new cities added are:
• Rome, Italy
• New Orleans, Louisiana
• Long Beach, California
• Malibu, California
To try them for yourself, simply head over to the Building Maker site and get started!
If you’re not yet familiar with Building Maker, you can read this post on getting started with it, or watch the short video below.
