Traffic Light Thought — 16 km/h, not 17, not 15?
The speed limit at a local park seemed strange: 16? Then I realised its probably a pre-metric limit literally converted. New Zealand went Metric when? 10 mph = 16.09344 km/h

Traffic Light Thought - Time for a service!
Knew it was nearly time for the scheduled 140k service but rather surprised to stop at the shops on the way home, look down and see...
Autodesk University 2011 Day 3 – The art inside design #AU2011
My Day 3 began with a session by Autodesk’s Guillermo Melantoni’s. “Show Me the Money: Impress Your Customers with Great Presentations“ was a great introduction to applying Autodesk Showcase to AEC presentation. As I own/use a Building Design Suite with Showcase it was very relevant as I’
Autodesk University 2011 Day 2 – Astounding Mix #AU2011
Part of the morning was spent on some secret stuff which will have to wait for a future post. It was also my first chance to take a good look around the exhibit hall. The Autodesk Gallery had an awesome display. I was impressed Carl Bass (right) was present whenever
Autodesk University 2011 Day 1 – Innovation explosion #AU2011
AU 2011 was a total mind blowing overload of fun, meetings and intellectual challenges. Add to that a few kilometres walking each day, the dehydrating low humidity of the Vegas atmosphere plus a bit of jetlag made it physically challenging as well (or I’m getting old!). I’m going

Autodesk University 2011, next week!? #AU2011

Traffic Light Thought - Rare car sightings
I see a lot of cars on my commute but a few recent ones have stood out: * Ferrari F40: Yes a real one, in West Auckland no less. At first sight I wondered if it was a kit, one of those MR2s in drag maybe?, but no doubting it was

First Circle, my second Metheny masterpiece
I mustn't have told Amazon I own this as today it was first on the “recommendations for you”. It's not the first Pat Metheny Group recording I heard, As Falls Wichita... has that honour, but is the first I owned. A CD when they were still
