Vacationing Architect’s Grab Bag
After a major deadline at work, I get the rare payoff of vacation. Before I take the week off, I wanted to leave you all with a few things to investigate while I am offline. Yes, I will be at sea, in the woods, at the peak of a mountain, and in a one stoplight town over the next week. Not only will I be taking a real vacation doing absolutely zero work, but I will be out of range of the internet.

Also, I will be improving the design and layout of the blog, and will do a round of much needed housekeeping when I return. I am attempting to continue the development of the visual presence while building the content.
Now, to the good stuff.
