The Great Search for A Cool Poster

Well, the search was probably less than “great”, but the article wouldn’t sound as interesting as if I would have called it “the nearly antiquate search for a cool poster.”  In any case, I looked for a cool poster on the Internet today, this is the story of what I found. –DV – Earlier, I [...]

The Middleway (Eightfold Path) – Realistic Action

This is the eighth than last post of the “middle way” articles. It is only a personal exploration of the middle way; just my understanding of it.

The Oregon Experiment – More Evidence of the Brand of Geek I Am

I just finished reading a really cool book called “The Oregon Experiment.” It is the third volume in a series of architecture books which have become not only a reference for architects, but a trigger for a whole way of thinking around software architecture and development called design patterns. I am enjoying these books for [...]

Finishing up the roof and designing an interior

I finally hunkered down to finishing up the exterior of the new structure. When I looked at the old design I found that the roof and the bottom of the structure lacked balance. I went back and studied some real life examples of Tibetan structures and other similar structures with a shape that I liked. [...]
