CLOG SCI-FI ready for Pre-Order (and guess who’s a contributor)

July 17, 2013

One of my goals this year was to write articles for places other than Shoegnome and BIM Engine (though I love writing for both those places, and you’ll start seeing new posts by me on the GSNA blog hopefully next week). I wanted to expand to both other places online and to print. I’ve had some success. And there are a few more in the works. Equally importantly I wanted

July 9, 2013

Yes, that’s right. The Minnesota ArchiCAD User Group #21 is almost here. I am more excited about this event than any of the previous twenty meetings.
