Map Mashups for Travel and Tourism

Written by: Juanchito

I am working out the details to attend a conference called Educause in Dallas next month and I’m sad that they really haven’t embraced technology like they should. I really just wish that they would make a Map Mashup of the Dallas area and especially the hotels. This conference is enormous and so it has at least 8-10 different hotels as conference hotels. Why a technology conference can’t create a map mashup is beyond me. It would make Hotel Selection much easier and they could even add on other important locations like the Dallas Convention Center. That might be good to know.

So, all you Convention and Vistors Bureau (CVB), chamber of commerce, travel, tourism, hospitality, hotel, vacation rentals or any other sort of travel opportunity needs to make a Map Mashup before I start going insane. They’ve gotten so much easier to create now that no one has an excuse. Especially not a technology conference.

2006 Fall TV Season Premieres

Written by: Juanchito

I think that the list of TV’s Season Premiers is so valuable I want to post it for all my blog readers. I found the list of TV Season Premiers on the really fantastic So You Think You Can Dance website. What surprises me most is how many different TV shows there are. It is also amazing to me how many new TV shows are on the list and premiering on TV.

A quick look at the list seems like a couple TV shows are missing from the premier list too. Which TV show premiers do you want to see?
