Maps and Geology

I was fascinated with maps at a very young age — I think I read maps before I read books.  That led me to study geology in college and grad school.  For a time I combined geology and programming with my Seismic Plugin software.  Though I'm no longer a professional geologist, I maintain my interest in geography and geology.
