Happy New Year to everyone.
First post of a shiny new year is nothing to do with remote sensing or Geomatics, but rather an interesting research article I came across on Science Direct about the reason behind our love for shiny things. Apparently our love for shiny/glossy things goes back to our need for water! Paper is here. People generally prefer things printed on glossy paper, but their preference for shiny/glossy material increased significantly after the survey participants had been given 8 salty crackers by the Belgian scientists.
A busy 2015 ahead, the next few months particularly so. A new Remote Sensing module to give at the end of the month, multiple SFI reports due, a SFI bathymetry project deliverable, UAS groundschool and flightschool in Cork, persuade the SCS to let me transfer the IIS commission on Remote Sensing over, software development with NorbSoftDev (we hope to have the alpha version ready by the end of February, then only have two months to get to Beta and a RC - June release deadline).
Looking at that list after the last week or so of slothful gluttony it makes me want to go home and eat turkey and cry into my tin of Roses.
