I feel the need to blog.

I have dedicated this week to my good friend GIS. This last lab is pretty crazy because there is only one page direction, which in summary, pretty much says “Here’s all the data, just go with it.”

This is pretty crazy, as I’m used to being spoon-fed on how to proceed with these lab assignments.

So here I am looking at what’s data is available, and I found it quite freaky on the wealth of data that is available out there. In Statistics Canada, you can actually get geospatial information on almost anything.

Anything.

Anyways, I managed to find geographically where the single people are. This data is cut down even further into:

• Never been married
• Divorced
• Widowed
• Common Law
• Common Law with Children

The list goes on!

For this research project, we are bounded by the Township of Woolwich, which kind of sucks. Nevertheless, I’m thinking of doing a locational analysis on where a bar should be optimally located in the Elmira. Haha.

Talk about useful reserach! I wonder if my professor will approve.

Or, I could do a queery [sic] on who’s gay in Elmira, and maybe hang out there more often.

Update: Unfortunately, there is no such information from Statscan. I guess no lingering around in neighbourhoods for me. Tee hee.
