..hasn't been as fun or easy as I expected.  I'm feeling a lot of
pressure to perform in a way that is interfering with doing real work.
So far I've logged about an hour and a half and have struggled since
to get on the clock.  Weird how hacking can be fun until you get paid
for it.  Anyway, I've gotten a lot less done than I expected over the
weekend but I hope to hack my head into a mode that can be comfortable
and really kick something intersting out over the next week.

Great input about locales.  I think Lat/Long seems to be the most
important information from which most other data can be derived.
There also seems to be pretty comprehensive utils to find Lat/Long
based on geographical names.  At this point I'm thinking I will use
Lat/Long and a climate summary (possibly derived) and as Rich
M. suggested build on it as needed.  I'm interested in defining
bioregions as well with this, but I don't think it is a phase one
goal.  Trivially a bioregion could be defined as +/- N minutes of a
degree.
