Homeland Security Week 10







Again, very interesting stuff! I really enjoyed this lab up until ArcScene, where I encountered issues with my data staying in view. I still am not aware of what I did to rectify the problem, but was eventually able to have it work. This was interesting as well, being able to see the layout in 3D. I have learned quite a bit working with the Homeland Security series.

Homeland Security Week 9


I chose to keep it simple and clean with my map. This depicts only pertinent information for the time it was created. The second is an image only and not a map. After playing with a map, I only became frustrated with trying to come up with one that made sense. My image is exactly what was pictured at the end of the excercise. I found this lab to be straightforward. The sections done for us was greatly appreciated! By reading through them, I realized the amount of hours saved must have been tremendous. A big thank you to Michael for that!

Taking a Bite out of Houston's Crime







I have submitted deliverables two and four. One pitfall I had was trying to get past errors. Moving to the old VM was the solution. I enjoyed learning how to create the multi-ring buffer to visualize the crimes in relation to the stations. I can see how this is an important tool to utilize for other situations. Creating graphs for time of day crimes was interesting.
