I am glad to anounce my intention to run  for the post of  president, CIAT. It has been a long term goal of mine to achieve this status, and timing will be just right, for me to give as much effort and time as the post deserves. Further blogs will be made to outline my goals for the two year period.

I listen to a number of podcast on all sorts of subject, mostly I might add to Apple and Architecture, this site Jon Udell is a must to visit and actually subscribe to. The makers and shakers, not the big corporations of this world but the real life hackers are interviewed in depth about their life, the code they write and most important the internet at their level, a worth while listen.

I like to use nice font when drawing and often use Tekton, however this site has some very nice hand fonts for sale

This has to be the most interesting development I have seen in recent years and might just prove to be a major turning point in gaming and just about every visual program going, including Architecture, and its all from the Wii

I recently had the pleasure of listening to Norman Foster in a TED lecture, its all about polution and sustainability, not a bad hour and well worth it for your CPD

Ted.com  Just about the most interesting web site, it has all sorts of interesting lectures, just spent some time and watch the presentations, search for Hans Rosling, he talks on population and statistics, its just amazing. 

I found this recent site whjilst having a trawl one night, its the Library of congres USA, a great site with just loads of excelent videos http://rs7.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=4240 

 This has nothing to do with building or Architecture, its just great fun, no more
