Facebook, Twitter, podcasts, friends, followers, this thing, that thing, does it ever stop? Honestly, this is just getting way out of hand. There’s movies about it, talk shows, lawsuits, privacy concerns, what next? I shudder at the thought. . *Before we go any further I feel like I need to clear the air and just make clear that Mark Zuckerberg did not come anywhere close to inventing social networking and yes, he did steal the idea for Facebook from those twins at Harvard.

Tekla BIMsight - Free divided by Free is still Free!

FEBRUARY 14, 2011
Another item that came from attending BIMForum Winter 2011 , Tekla BIMsight. I admit that my first reaction to hearing the name was, "Oh, a cloud sharing/viewing solution?" Then I saw the spelling of the name. Using price alone, if we compare Autodesk's Navisworks Manage and Tekla BIMsight: Navisworks Manage: $10k-ish (USD) $1.5k yearly subscription Tekla BIMsight: $0.0k (USD) aka FREE (no subscription) Okay, if BIMsight doesn't do everything that Navisworks does how fair is that?
Building Teams First – Buildings Next

Team building is one of those touchy feely ideas that usually gets placed on the priority list alongside dentist office visits and polar bear swimming competitions. This is probably because everyone feels that there are so many more important things to do on a construction project than have some team building event when everyone could be spending their time thinking of ways to suck more money out of their opponent.

‘Don’t link your (BIM related) arguments to software packages, they weaken them’

‘Don’t link your arguments to software packages, they weaken them’ – warn me people responding to my posts (they mean the arguments, not the packages, I guess); While a software-neutral position may be more comfortable to comment from, I am not keen to go there for two reasons: 1/ Very few BIM experts out there are truly unbiased to software, even those that are in academia and remote from practice often wear ‘software tinted glasses’.
