I Update, I guess

So its late on Easter Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday, and i'm in studio working and i figured i should update my blog. So, since our great rome escapade, including a trip to Bilbao, and Girona, we got back and did work. NOTE: THERE ARE NEW PICTURE LINKS ON THE LEFT COLUMN. SEE LEFT COLUMN FOR DETAILSbasically. last weekend brandon u came in, we had all had a good time for once, it was a nice refresher after a rather unusually quiet week field trip. but the work is getting worse. our director, in an effort to "keep us on track", decided to have a jury last wednesday, a week before this coming wednesday, which is our midreview jury. dave shove will be in town and so will the council town, so there's alot of pressure. so she decided that in our best effort, in order to stimuate out design, i dont know, it doesnt make alot of sense, but the workload has increased, over easter break. not only are half of the students' families in town, but there is also no real time ot analyze crit analyze crit before having to get down and prepare for this wednesdays jury. so i'm not sure what the big idea is, but i dont think there is one.

anyways, as rob said, what better time to be under pressure and learn a new program. so that's what rob and i are doing. we are going to use ARCHICAD to save us from our woes. basically this program promisses to be easier as far as exporting necessary drawings such as elevations, plans, sections, and perspectives. it so far has proven to be exponentially more competent than sketch up, and alot fast er to use than CAD, in many ways. everything is sort of linked inside of everything else, so you draw a wall, but there's a wall settings box where you can customize just about everything to everything. rob and i think that they asked architects how to design a program, bcecause it gos so smoothly. well relatively, its very early yet. also, this program i think allows pdf exports, which could provide higher quality exports for post production work for our boards. i'll keep you posted on the details.

anyways, its been quiet. i've noticed that my hands cramp up on this keyboard alot, and on my mouse too. its the eregonomics i tell you! theyre at it again, and its not good. if any reader, stalker or not, knows of any good sites or products that could be recommended, please post comments.
