Why a blog about GIS?

As technology is moving forward, GIS is becoming more functional and more of a necessity. However, there is a disconnect between those who consider themselves GIS professionals and developers who are making this technology easier to use and more mainstream. This blog is an attempt to place a "human" description to what GIS is...meaning give it a definition that everyone who is not a GIS professional can understand its purpose, and to assist those who are the "professionals" to understand how technology is making GIS more and more transparent. This blog should be a good read for those who have never heard of GIS as well as those who can claim GIS as their profession of choice. It will be interesting to see if I can blog and define GIS without having to post a visual display....Is this possible?....We'll see....
