  • LOOPS

    Inline Restart Hi. Me again.  I know its been a while since I’ve sat down and hacked out something more than 280 characters, but here we are.  Part of that is the rabbit hole I always seem to end up in when I have that day job and new challenges – part of it is… Read more

  • 2021. So long, farewell.

    Year in Review: As it’s the gold standard of things to do in media, whether you have any readers or not… we come to the close of another cluster of 12 months – hence, a time of pensive reflection.  I can’t lie, this one has been an extension of the terrain of 2020, with additional,… Read more

  • A New Chapter

    If you knew me – you’d have expected this.  The intended outcome, would be to obtain employment and use that to fuel communication about the ‘day in the life’ and ideas that I meander thru on random posts in here… at least that’s always been the intended approach to this.  I missed the target a… Read more

  • Forward

    It’s not only the state motto of the state in which I was born, it’s the direction life moves, whether you like it or not.  Since we’re along for the ride, may as well do your best to try and guide the direction toward better outcomes, yeah?  The Imperfect Storm I’ve never been able to… Read more

  • UX Design + Architecture?

    Breaking Preconceptions Admittedly I’ve been redlining lately. And I don’t mean that good kind where you provide project direction, insights & quality controls to a project.  It’s the other kind.

  • Enjoy the Silence

    When you’re spending all day, every day, alone with your own thoughts – you can’t help but to learn a few things about yourself… and Enjoying the Silence, is difficult.  Levels If Pied Piper is Tables, MarlowDesigns is levels. (I’ve rewatched “Silicon Valley” again. You can tell, can’t you?) Noise, it all its various categories,… Read more

  • Catalysts for Change

    Revit Model Inside Enscape Picture it, you’ve just spent 60+ hours on a model sprint for a friend/client. Because you’re EXACTLY like me in this story – the motives are to A) Solve the problem effectively & thoroughly with B) Throw a little mustard on it to impress with the end result.  You open up… Read more

  • Library Development, etc.

    Well, I said I’d write it all down… Bet you’re tired of hearing about door libraries, yeah? Imagine doing them. Picture it: You’ve just finished editing a parameter 300x to find something that isn’t correctly locked to a reference plane in half the families you just edited. Go. I’ve gotten everything to a point –… Read more

  • Content, Content, Content

I want to help, and paying bills is a good thing. The… Read more
