I work as an applications analyst in a municipal information technology department, have a strong background in geographic information systems, and have been a webmaster since the early 1990's. Sometimes I wish we'd just stuck with Gopher :)

comment Where can I find Canadian postal code geometries?
Heh @el chief. You're referring to the Data Liberation Initiative (which isn't). There are pretty strict rules on what you're allowed to use the data for under that agreement. statcan.gc.ca/dli-ild/guide-trousse/guide-trousse/toc-tdm/…

I would suggest revising your question to include these additional details.

comment Is there any way I can use a Key-Value store for geospatial data?
Hey @Jon, that would be better added as an Answer. That way it can stand on its own, and you'll get credit for it if people think it has merit!

comment Is GIS a tool or a science?
I think that whether it is objective or subjective is subjective :) Apart from the meta site, a good way of deciding on this is to use the Close button to vote for topics you think aren't answerable.
