  Tips for Mastering E-mail Overload I found this to be a very good article that more people, particularly those using a lot of email for business, should read!  ¶ 9:09 PM 0 comments

  Green Building Seminar Presentation Yesterday I was one of four presenters at a Green Building Seminar. I gave a 30 minute presentation on my current project, the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas. It was probably the first time I've given a presentation before that large of group - 100+ building professionals. Apparently I didn't mess it up too badly because I had several people give me favorable comments afterward.  ¶ 6:27 AM 0 comments

  Cory Doctorow and Ender's Game Here's an interview with Cory Doctorow. He is a writer that I am starting to really like. There is a discussion about Orson Scott Card and Ender's Game, among many other things. You might find it interesting.

  Oscar Night Here goes again, only in abbreviated form this time. I don't have time to write what I previously wrote and lost.

Claudia and I watched the Academy Awards last night. This was perhaps the first time we had seen all five best picture nominees prior to the awards. All were good; I probably would have voted for The Aviator, but certainly Million Dollar Baby was very good too.

Seemed strange not having a Lord of the Rings to cheer for this year. I like Chris Rock, but I don't think he was a particularly inspired host last night. He seemed off his mark to me.  ¶ 7:08 AM 1 comments

  Argggh! I just finished writing out a long post about the Oscars and clicked to publish it when it seemed to vanish into Neverland leaving only an error message. Unfortunately I did not copy it to my clipboard so I think it is lost. Not good! Oh well, maybe I should try to rewrite what I wrote?  ¶ 7:04 AM 0 comments
