I use firefox absolutely all the time. but it is a good idea to check out how your site will look with safari etc, I have always used opera, firefox, and internet explorer for that Thanks for the tip!

I like this topic. I have had several discussion with several different people about this very thing. I really love a quick sketch for dumping an idea, I would love to be able to sketch better and faster than I currently do. I'm really taken in by the quick sketches of an idea, they have a certain quality about them that leaves some to the imagination and at the same time very informative. This topic made me think of a book an associate of ours wrote called Rapid Vis Toolkit which is a great book for helping to understand how to quickly visualize ideas and also the organization of ideas. Pretty fun stuff! Edit: I still need to read the white papers, they look informative.

Sorry Joe, I didn't see your post until late (I usually check the forum once a day at work - when i should be working). I had actually checked your website when i first stumbled across this thread - no threats detected, by either IE7 or my antivirus software.

Wow Prodigiua, if that is what happened, that's incredible! Heck, even if it was a piece off a regular aeroplane that's amazing. Either way I guess you're extremely lucky it hit your leg and not your head .... or extremely unlucky it hit you at all!

i second that, tom. it felt like a brief maintenance break. some people could learn from coen and co....

yes - but a concrete verandah (porch) is not the same as a timber one. Must be at least 12' wide, preferably 15'

AHHHH the other side.... hey the other side looks the same as the other side... DOH!

Thanks, rhankc! It seems this is the site of a SketchUp reseller...I think. It seems to me that @Last/Google should have copyright on both images and text, if I don't. I never really understood how that happened...but Aidan Chopra told me at 3D Basecamp that they were using the English version of this on pamphlets sent out to architecture schools. Oh well, who cares?...it was a long time ago. I'll have to add this to my resume in some creative way..."projects profiled on Dutch, Portuguese, and English web sites" or something.

LOL! Well today's training was all Qi Gong and speed drills...no heavy kicking. Alan - I also find that starting the day with breathing exercises sets a very good foundation. And like many things, I agree that they are almost completely in the mind first. Mental imagery is extremely important regardless of what activity. Susan - What? You wouldn't want to sit in a closed door meeting with a sweaty, bloody person for a few hours? Yes, there is a shower here...which is good. Many folks in this office ride bicycles in the canyons at lunch and they come back pretty sweaty! Eric - yeah, I guess that's not too helpful, but it is a snapshot of my days. I will look up some more helpful topics and post them when I have time. This is really only a tiny set of training activities that I do, however it's about all I have time for during the busy work day. I will add to this thread as I get a good routine going...I have a jump rope training routine that is a bit easier for others to adopt, so I'll post that when I get some time. The main thing I find is to be creative and more naturally. I am not a big fan of machines that limit one's range of motion. Stay active everyone! ...as they say, use it or lose it! Wink Cheers, CraigD

way way back when i was graduating.. i sent out my resume and a mini cd with a portfolio in html...that worked 'ok'.. now i think you'd be more successful because of all the great universal formats out there... swf, pdf, etc.. now i just have a pdf portfolio that matches an 8.5x11 physical portfolio i have.. i'm sure youv'e got nothing to worry about..but yeah, always good to be prepared.. friend of mine just got let go..and they made him leave right then and there..he had no time to collect any work or any contacts or anything..so he's pretty stuck..... so always be prepared Wink

James, One trick I use since I use SU more than Illustrator is to rough out artwork in SU and then export into Illustrator and finish it there. Will only be helpful if your logo is mainly line work and not photographic.

Welcome Chris and Thank you...I look at it like this..In the end, there will be either GOOD news or me maxing out my credit cards...

The body of work may have more to do with age than talent.

Happy Birthday Eric.

Have a look at both Hypercosm and eDrawings, AFAIK they have some functionality that is like (or close to) what you are describing.

perhaps not as good an idea as i originally thought

Thanks solo. Deep Exploration looks nice. Maybe they'll give me a copy so I can write a review of it.

Excellent site, Jim...here's another: http://www.antiquehome.org/House-Plans/

that is the best picture ive seen created by SU+whatever else.
