BIM is a mindset wrapped inside of a process that is hinged on an environment of sharing and collaboration mixed in with technology as the means of creation and analysis!

I also think BIM is a limited definition. We have a perpective on the acronym. Building should be viewed as a action word not a noun. "We are Building an Information Model" vs. "it is a Building Information Model".

Critical to the successful integration of computer models into project coordination, simulation, and optimization is the inclusion of information—the “I” in BIM—to generate feedback. As a shared knowledge resource, BIM can serve as a reliable basis for decision making and reduce the need for re-gathering or re-formatting information.

Building = Construction / Development
Information = Data Pertaining to a facility
Model = Visual form

Sambo Mocbee has been such an inspiration to me and my way of thinking that my first born is named after Samuel Mockbee. Thank you Sambo for all your contributions to our profession.

i'm reading this book so i can add mid-century inspired scale figures to my architectural construction drawings. I am also finishing construction drawings by hand so i can add that artistic feel. the computer can be so sterile.....

this is a book on linguistics and the origin and non-arbitrary nature of words and the sounds of words...

the sun never rises
the sun never sets
it's all perspective
that we're unfamiliar with.....


it's things locked in unparked cars
both near and far

with those who we never cared for
and over it and under it and
because of it
we sit with little more
than we came with
except for mouths full of spit
and unspoken comments.

Korean elecronics manufacturer LG, who makes the screens for the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle, has revealed in SEC filings that they are continuing to break new ground with e-paper technology, moving forward with plans for both color and flexible models that will work with both e-readers and tablets.

LG Display has developed the world's largest flexible electronic-paper screen measuring 25cm by 40cm, which translates into a 19-inch screen size. With 0.3mm thickness and 130g weight, it utilizes a metal foil instead of a traditional glass to make itself both flexible and durable.



Delta Electronics of Taiwan Has a 13 Inch color eReader Screen
Delta Electronics has a 13.1 inch display was developed in collaboration with Bridgestone and uses particle-based color e-paper technology rather than the e-Ink common in other e-Readers, or the LCD in tablets like the iPad.

At around 730 grams (about half the weight of an iPad) it's probably lightweight enough to sling in a laptop bag or backpack and not impact too much on the already overburdened carrier. Delta Electronics is claiming a 6,000 page battery life, and 3G or WiFi connectivity. There's pen input for making notes, too. It was shown off at Computex and should be commercially available by Dec, 2010.

hello frank,


i've called once again
there are those who still ring the phone
and there are those who have left me only
prose....

there is so much that i see in my rearview
i'm still that 15 year old kid in a oldsmobile 88
looking to feel up sister kate

if only
and with only
and for wanton glory
i sit and reflect on
perceived victories lost
in cosmic dreams of light
and ether and things unseen.....

and i'm 16 and i sit on the in betweens of
houses and my own misgivings of suburban dreams

and i lay in wait for that which can penetrate
the 40 year laminate that hides my

and i leave it blank
for those who
and for you
and for me
and for that
which we cannot see.

We have lost the human touch that comes with hand drawings... 3 steps forward two steps back.... we  prefer facebook posts to actual company... our humanity lives in black boxes with keyboards and we are sterile touchless people
