What I Have Been Up To

Sorry to everyone for being out of it for awhile. We have been pretty busy lately with a lot of submittals, and I have been having to write a lot of design guidelines, zoning codes and such, so I havn't been inspired to write in my blog too!

Tomorrow I leave for Vegas for the International Council of Shopping Centers conference. I am going primarily for one of my clients. It should be an interesting experience. I am also looking forward to getting lots of fodder for my Fugly awards, and checking out the local development scene. I know that they are really hurting right now...but they have had an excellent ride for a couple of decades now. There are some really good projects going on there though that I want to check out. I will keep you all updated.

New Computer

Well, I finally did it. After thinking about it for a couple of years, I finally broke down and got a Macbook. I love it! The Mac OS is far superior to Windows, it runs faster, is easier to work with...and it all works together! Fantastic! Of course, I do have to use windows programs, such as CAD, so I have set this system up for a dual boot, with virtual machine software. In other words, I can run both the Mac and Windows at the same time, more or less seamlessly. There are some nuances I am still getting used to, but it is pretty smooth.
