As everyone knows, Black Friday is the name the retail industry uses to describe the day after Thanksgiving. The reason for the term Black Friday is it is (hopefully) the one day that retail stores can turn a profit for the entire year. However, for those affected by the downturn in the economy, Black Friday will either be a day of mourning their job loss or commiserating with those who have recently lost their jobs.

Anyone who has been around Revit for awhile knows that a long time ago Andersen Window and door came out with some families that impossibly complex and overbearing. So, since we're modeling/designing our own house, and we want Andersen Windows and Doors, I broke down and built some for myself. I've loaded them up on Revit city, you'll find single, double and triple casements & awnings (which share the same basic details).

'Last issue’s editorial, about how to “NOT” sell things to customers in need set a record. It achieved the highest click through rate of any editorial in 2008. (If you don’t know about “click through rate” it has nothing to do with how fast Dorothy and her Ruby Slippers get back to Kansas. Nothing.) Why do I tell you this? To brag. Look, I’m a marketer; we live for stuff like this.

Interesting question, to be sure. Some AEC industry experts believe that things will not improve any time soon, regardless of whether President Bush or President-elect Obama is in charge. And, clearly, the Architectural Billings Index for October being the lowest number since its inception gives credence to that argument. Yet, it's pretty clear from the mounting number of trade industry articles that have been published since the November 4 election that many observers also believe that Presiden

There's no way to sugarcoat it, folks, the architecture portion of the AEC industry is in deep trouble. This morning's news that the AIA's Architecture Billings Index hit its lowest level since the survey began in 1995 is a major blow to anyone's short-term visions of a quick turnaround. While some quarters believe that President-Elect Barack Obama will push an agenda of addressing America's infrastructure, fact is, it will be two more months before he even takes office and perhaps much longer t

Awhile back I bought myself a small little Bamboo tablet from Wacom. For those more familiar with the larger versions, this little $70 toy, is nice, it slips in my laptop bag effortlessly, and only requires a USB cable (no wall wart!). I can use it on my lap or at a desk without a problem. The problem was, outside of Photoshop, I didn't have any good software to use it with, my laptop doesn't have TabletPC Edition on it, and most other programs (even sketch-up) are not really tablet friendly.

We've discussed how to read journals, and how to use them to track down problems. Journals can also be used to recreate and create. Complex journal files built over a full working session perhaps don't work so well, but journal files created for specific purpose can be useful.
