That Wharf Shot...
Northern Solstice Cycle Tour, originally uploaded by RobiNZ. This is such a cliche shot for anyone who visits Nelson Lakes but the weather added a bit of drama. Great as a desktop background!

A CAD Blog banner to please the cat
The subject is nothing to do with CAD, more to do with mitigation. Piercing blue eyes belong to Casper the Birman and the snap below doesn’t convey the look of disgust when he saw the dog, Alfie, featured in the last header. If a cat could say “What the…
Traffic Light Thought – Hyundai, * fine print on a billboard has the appearance of lying
The image below comes from the Hyundai NZ website but is very similar to a billboard I see on the way to work. I haven’t got any problem with Hyundai’s product, or even the claim made, but the graphic design annoys me. The claim is clear but having
Thanks TypePad, helping me support Kiva

Microsoft Word Help, that helps
Here is a great Microsoft Word resource that is more “real world how to get results” than the “this does that” help in Word. If you know someone who doesn’t use Format Styles (for me the key to Word efficiency), gets mixed up numbering or just wants a good
Snagit tames the Revit Browser (and other long windows)
The Revit Project Browser is great for bundling all the assets of a Revit Project into a single list. Unfortunately it’s “one view scroll, scroll scroll” interface can be tedious to document. If you want to use in a project standard or just share with collaborators (without sending the
