Really, I’m just starting to consider working abroad and figuring out what sort of opportunities might exist for me. At this point, I’m open to anything.

So it sounds like my BLA would be the same as the 3year degree? And therefore, I wouldn’t qualify for a job requiring post grad. The reason I was looking at the U.K. was because I saw a posting through a large international firm that had an opening in the U.K. but not in the U.S. A few months ago I looked up jobs in…[Read more]

Yes, some of them are a little off the wall but, simply by considering them it brings us to more questions. I’m a fan of questions, they sometimes lead to answers.
I guess what I’m doing with this whole post thread here, is trying to figure out what other questions can be asked about culture today…[Read more]

Gotcha. I’d say it makes at least some sense. I should revisit the whole theory anyways and since, as mauiBob has so kindly pointed out, I have too much time, I’ll look for it in the library, thanks! go wolfpack.

Maybe something like that would become a focal feature of a modern park. Long ago, fountains used in gardens were a showcase of technology. Today, we all get more-or-less how a pump works. What could be the next ‘fountain’?

I love the idea of a revisit to The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces. In the Late 70s/ early 80s people go out to public places to read books and talk to each other and drink coffee. That part hasn’t changed, but add on to that cell phone conversations, laptop use, texting, gps use, e-readers, tablet devices, and cameras in every p…[Read more]

I was thinking more about public spaces and AER. And then beyond that into how they can share, navigate to, and be encouraged to use. And then a little bit of dreaming about what more could happen there.

An article, though written in 2006, still has some value and a point: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301479706000491

Healthcare, obviously, you nailed it. But what else? Where else is there potential? Social networking, technology, internet based operations. These are and are continuing to get huge.

What I’m saying here, is that on each side of the bridge you have some pretty established vegetation, it would help for there to be some sort of continuity between the existing ‘wildlife’ and the engineered bridge. This would encourage squirrels, birds,…[Read more]
