I've found myself sitting back reflecting today on my college experience (Star-Date 05/03 till 06/09). SIX years of my life flashed as if warp 7 was engaged. I was talking to one of my architecture friends about school and how much I loved (yes, loved) it. Maybe not all the work was appreciated, but the experience is something that I think everyone should have. Where else on Earth could you have almost every life experience without having to leave your campus?
Some people just don't get it. And they never will.
I find it hard to believe sometimes that my friends treat me worse than people that I don't know. Very perplexing to me.
I love the You Suck At Photoshop Series. Here a little sample:
Not only do you get a laugh from it, you learn something too and that's the gift that keeps on giving. You don't know how many times I've been doing some Architecture rendering and forgotten how to do some photoshop trick and referred to these things. Truth be told, some of you have asked me how to do certain things to photos and when I reply with "hold on a sec" I usually refer to YSAP.
Real life is fun and hard all at the same time. But it's the fun times that make the hard ones easier.
For the past five months I have been so concerned with doing this whole architecture career track in a certain way that I became a little bit stubborn and dead set to do things in the way that I wanted them done. Now I can see that; A. It's not going to happen like I planned it [big surprise huh?] B. There's nothing I can do about it and C. Flexibility is the key. I had a very helpful conversation with someone a couple days ago and I now realize that even though things aren't going how I had planned them, everything is falling into place like it should.
One day at a time. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it's called The Present.

I don't know if I am able to post this, but with a little trepidation I'm still going to post this information Nate Berg hipped me to. I found this on Architect Magazine and thought this was pretty cool. I know of a couple firms that are trying out this technology and seem to like what it presents. Now I don't know if this will ever replace an old fashion model [seeing that it costs about 3,000 to print one of these] but it definitely is something to pay attention to. Now if we could just find a way to make it three dimensional even more ie the super computer that was in Ironman. Take a look at the video and tell me what you think.
I honestly think this technology is on a level that all clients will appreciate but the use of real physical models will still be necessary. Nothing will ever replace it no matter how hard we try. I think making models allows for people to use their creativity in ways they never knew.
Watch the video. Comment on it.

So my boy cliff skighwalker had this up on his blog and I had to repost for all you Archies out there. Tell me you don't remember this wonderful commercial song. This guy did the song SO much justice. Laugh and enjoy.
