KODA started thinking about how often we've been delivered "bad pizza" in our professional lives, in our careers, and on our projects...and decides to call Customer Service for some clarification.
A great effort by the Geodata KODA team in the last month prompts this blog post. For the previous two weekends we've had extra-curricula outings in which we've achieved some great things. Some days it's easy to overlook our achievements - not today
You know you're working in an interesting industry when the currents of the week push you to spend a couple of late night hours searching for some 'standard' dimensions for humans to try to justify the placement of a datalogger in a certain location on site.
As a repeat reader of Frank Herbert's Dune, I've found myself intrigued by a particular phrase written towards the end of the book.

Seattle’s Bertha
KODA read an article in the New York Times last week (“In Seattle, a Sinking Feeling About a Troubled Tunnel” http://nyti.ms/134X4Z2) about Seattle’s stranded TBM ‘Bertha’ – more specifically, the problems some locals are having with cracking as a result of subsidence around the shaft being used to rescue the giant machine.
We’re starting small, but thinking big – better than the other way around…
Based in Austin Texas, KODA (KODA Engineering LLC) is tapping into a wealth of talent in IT and technology. From here we’re planning to service the US and Global markets.
The options seem endless, and each day we talk to the industry we get more and more excited. Some inspire us. Some make us ask: “Why haven’t we thought of that before?” Some are...
