Today

I thought I might try to use this blog to track what I do or don’t each day. Here’s the first day so far.

Walked to the office, got to read a bit more of Riegl’s “Historical Grammar of the Visual Arts”…best sentence: “If man, to satisfy his obscure desire for a lucid visualization of the invisible powers that either threatened or protected him, wished to reproduce those powers in bodily form, he could only do so by means of organic constructions.” I think Sullivan bought into this idea.

At the office, I graphed the test data from the zone exclusion device I tested yesterday, not pretty graphs…couldn’t find a radial graphing tool so I made one up. Walked to lunch reading Levinas’s book “Discovering Existence with Husserl” hard to follow in a noisy restaurant so worked on the 16-8 house layout.

Back at the office, I looked up sources of data for truck/worker fatalities, and wrote up the report, moved it to indesign to bring in the graphs and photos from the test and sent it out to the team.

I’m partially watching the WWDC Keynote address, the new iphone looks pretty great, and has a simple programming environment to boot!

Well, back to podcasting now, will try to finish up dewatering and shoring today to post to the site.

Got to review the lecture on construction for Frank’s studio, may be my last lecture at VT…
