My Idea Series Disclaimer: These ideas are rough and often in note format so sometimes a little hard to follow. If the idea already exists out there please let me know. I create these from somewhere in my head and I may be influenced by external factors but I’ll never take someone else’s idea as my own. Remember though there is no such thing as an original idea. If this idea catches your interest I'd love to talk more with you about it. The Premise Let's say you're looking to buy a house or just like to look at houses for fun - my wife...

This post originally appeared on Habitables as part of my guest blogger series on architectural software. Before starting any design in AutoCAD, it’s important to format your drawing space to your project’s requirements. This is how I prepare to start CADing. I will run through this article with references to the Windows version of AutoCAD, but the same commands and menu locations work on the Mac version, too. (more...)

In PART 1 I explained how I got my video made and converted into the applicable formats to support viewing in most browsers. In PART 2 I'm going to run through how I got the video up on my website. This post assumes you are familiar with HTML and WordPress. I'd be happy to create a more in depth beginners post if there is anyone interested. (more...)

For my welcome message to my visitors I decided to create a video and then use the new video tags in HTML5 to present it. I wanted to do this for two main reasons: 1. I thought it would be a weird video to stumble across on YouTube or Vimeo and 2. I had never done it before so why not give it a shot and learn something new. (more...)

If this idea catches your interest I'd love to talk more with you about it. This one I came up a while ago (early 2010) when I was first learning how to manage a Cisco...

Today, I checked my mail and found four frustratingly redundant letters in the mailbox and it got me thinking about why companies spend untold amounts of money and natural resources on sending the most pointless correspondence. I like what most companies are doing now with online account management and paperless billing but strangely I seem to get more mail from these companies than ever. (more...)

This post originally appeared on Habitables as part of my guest blogger series on architectural software. As a lover of architecture and self-labeled technology geek, I was immediately drawn to a program offered at a local technical college in Omaha, Nebraska. A semester in to my degree course in Architecture Design Technology, I have become intrigued by the software used by architecture firms, most of which I will cover over the next year. (more...)

Just got the new design up and running. Still plenty to do but so far I think it's looking pretty good - and much easier to read! I hope to keep the updates going with the new design, some of the topics I've got in mind include:

UPDATE: I'm really happy with this new design. I would love to hear your feedback about how it reads. I'm not referring to content, although you can disagree if you want, but rather the format of my blog. I built this site a while ago and it was going to be more of an online resume rather than a regular blog. Therefore, I didn't really pay too much attention to the formatting on the blog page or the posts themselves. Since I've decided to write more often I've come to realize it really sucks to read any lengthy piece of writing that...
