That is fantastic! Congratulations! 🙂

I will try it!
I’ve found Business Time, HowSteep, Photoshop express, and SBMX (AutoDesk SketchBook Mobile Express).  There are others I’m trying but not the amount of professional apps I thought I would find.  Wish it had the Dirr app…

Phil,
I am fine with designing gardens…at this point whatever pays the bills. And if it is your passion go for it! But I am wondering if you know what landscape architects do? I am truly not being snarky, maybe I missed another post somewhere…but I just wanted to verify that you know what landscape architecture programs cover. Most of it is…[Read more]

oops. signed in as my husband…University of Idaho. I know it is a little different now, I am not sure if it is as strenuous.

Like most of NY, nice small towns left to die. With Troy, it’s too bad there ain’t much there, and its not the best part of town (I used to live in the Capital District) At least you got a Dinosaur BBQ now. I have to go to NYC for the closest one to me.

Congratulations! Now you have the opportunity to give them reasons to give you raises through what you do. You will and they will as well.

there is a plan that the bush administration set back significantly, for a joint sewage treatment plant on the border at Tijuana..It’s still moving ahead, and will happen eventually..But the first spill, 90 million gallons – that is San Diego letting that stuff loose – that is america, guys, spilling that stuff in the good old Pacific..

For productivity, I found Rehearsal Assistant voice recorder so that I don’t lose all of the ‘mental notes’ I find myself making during my traffic-y, 30 to 60 minutes each way car commute to work.  It’s a nice way to (sort of) recover some of the productivity I lost when I gave up a train commute, and it lets you make little voice memos without…[Read more]

Does anyone have any experience studying with Mometrix Media LLC – LARE Secrets Study Guide & the flashcards??
I am planning on taking exam A in March and I am wondering if using this study guide helps??
Thank you

Look up the book “Gritty Cities” and see the chapter on Troy.  The authors realized the virtues of the town some 30 years ago.

I drove through Tijuana after a heavy rain once.  Really disgusting.  The highway was flooding with water that was foamy and reeked of sewage.  I realized that water would be draining to the ocean, just ~15 miles south of Coronado.  That is the cost in having such a huge disparity in labor costs over the border.  No money for proper infra…[Read more]

Coronado, California. Plus a great library, great bike trails, good city athletic offerings, pools, tennis courts, dog  beaches, and city-sponsored theater, art shows, and music…. And, as the weather-man said last week – how is the weather? “Delightful!”
Could even change my sour-puss new yorker attitude, over time..
drawback- raw sewage s…[Read more]

Troy, Ny. 
 
The architecture is fantastic, it is very walkable and the cost of living is reasonable.

Well, she offered me the job, and I didn’t negotiate at all.  Right off the bat I was offered $43k plus benefits.  Sounded good to me (especially after all the responses I got on here).  I would have felt weird/greedy asking for more.
 
This is to all the new grads out there: don’t be scared.  If you think you’re worth something then go for it.…[Read more]

I second the suggestion of carbonmade.  
 
Very nice, subtle colours and very simple layout to focus the attention on your work, looks sleek and professional (for the price you’re paying – zero!).
 
 

Congratulations Jon, and I’m glad things are looking up for you guys, Heather
From the small business-owner side of things (residential/commercial): 2010 was a pretty good year–a livable profit and a few portfolio pieces.. 2011 looks better.
Overall, clients seem more comfortable with “where they are” financially, and are ready to spend again.…[Read more]
