just counting the days until March 16th….. soon…. so soon….

the stress should be better on that day. The massive project will be coming to an end… and oh, am I looking forward to it.

New Orleans – bildit

1 Reply

This is exciting. New Orleans architecture/design company Bildit looks like it’s putting up some wonderful new homes in the Big Easy.

Dawn and I are due for another of our ‘every 5 years’ trips to New Orleans this year and plan to take Little Man. Hopefully I’ll be able to see some of their designs in person this October.

Disturbing

1 Reply

So tonight we were driving home and I happened to see a disturbing bumper sticker that I just had to comment on. It was a marine corp sticker that stated “give war a chance”. Though I know we’re in a war currently (but I’ll leave that comment alone – don’t get me started on that one) it amazes me that there are people in this world that are that ignorant.

Then, I started reading CNN.com and read about the backlash on an article that was published in AsianWeek magazine. I’m not even going to bring up what it was about on here, it was horrid though. Here’s a link to the CNN.com article.

I guess sometimes people can be so disappointing…..

IKEA is now in the prefab business.

Unfortunately it’s not currently in the US. Only Scandinavia, and the UK. Well, hopefully it will come here soon, I would love to see new developments all built this way, and IKEA has the ability to bring good design to the masses with their prices.

Next issue of the magazine

1 Reply

Well, the last issue was cancelled due to end of year busyness. So, we’ve gone ahead and used that month’s content, and added to it. I wish I would have had more time to write, and modify, but with life/work being as it is lately, that was just not possible.

Overall I’m still very happy we’ve received as much input from others to include. The group is really coming together for the content and that can only strengthen the magazine. I need to get the website to where it needs to go —- urgently. The people on 8apps have been quite helpful in sharing ideas when I posed a question about using WordPress as a CMS. And I’m so thankful to all of them.

why can’t i stop coughing

I’m sitting at home right now. Dawn and Little Man are both asleep. I wish I was but every time I lay down I just go into fits of coughing. This is completely lame. Nothing new though – almost every time I’ve been sick while growing up it would turn into bronchitis. Hopefully it doesn’t this time. I do feel better than yesterday, got some good sleep last night – well, after an hour and a half coughing fit that also kept Dawn up. (sorry my beautiful)

I know tonight is going to be a late night to (more on that later) and I have to be at work at dark/thirty tomorrow due to a training session I need to ensure goes well. It’s likely I’ll get some rest this weekend though. Hopefully. Maybe. Eh?!?!

Well, enough of the cough medicine talk. Type at you later.

Weekend

We had planned to make it so I would get quiet time at home today. I even skipped a trip to Joshua Tree with TioTony and Tricia today, because I needed quiet time. Well, unfortunately I started getting a sore throat yesterday and Little Man started getting boogie nose. So we’re all having a slow day today. Oh well – I just hope everyone feels better.

Apple+IKEA = creamy goodness

I saw this posted on TUAW today and just had to share.

Here’s a link to the entire set on flickr. Yes, I am completely jealous.

And, to top off the day, Apple announced a new line of color shuffles. And whop-your-jaw they FINALLY are coming out with orange. Keep your fingers crossed for an orange nano – Dawn has already been made aware I will not be able to control myself – I’ll likely be required to by one. hahaha
