First of all - the weather is great. Nearly 70F during the day - which is around 10F higher than normal. That means people could actually hang out by the pool. That is if there were any people here. AU hasn't officially kicked off yet (most people fly in on Monday) and Vegas seems like a ghost town. The HNTB Architecture technology team had a fantastic meal together last night and the restaurant might have had four tables in use. The restaurant was a very fine selection by Katherine Meeder. And speaking of Katherine - she'll be traveling to Seoul, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur for a brief architectural study abroad program. And speaking of Singapore - Katherine is concentrating her thesis on the modernization and planning of Singapore.
So if you're from Singapore and you'll be at AU - please drop me an email. I'd like to introduce you to Katherine. Let's see if we can arrange for you two to meet and discuss all things architecture and technology while she's visiting in early January of next year.
Today: Design Computation Symposium. All day event. I'll get to see Matt Jezyk (Revit Mother Ship) and Neil Katz (SOM NY Mathematic Philosopher Design Guru Classical Clarinetist). Neil once described his design philosophy with the elegantly pejorative, "We don't make blobs. We make decisions". ;) Good times.
Hey Neil - can I buy you a couple of beers and then introduce you to Blackjack? :)
Finally - another year passes without Guy Robinson attending AU. Dude - wish you were here. Allow me to solace you thus.

A great Simpson's moment. Good to see someone can see through the FUD...
Why would I want to be in over-aircon'd hotels learning about last years products? Especially with the $NZ going south.
BTW, spent 1/2 of saturday across the road at the beach swimming in a sea that was scarily warm for this time of the year. Got to go, off for another swim with the kids ;-)
