Last weekend we visited a beautiful Central Oregon lake that is formed from a freshwater spring, and gin crystal clear. 360 photo: Photos of this lake could be mistaken for the Mediterranean oceans clear waters.I hope you are having…
We are visiting Portland Friday August 18th through Sunday August 20th afternoon. We are coming for a few meetings, and some fun. First and foremost we are going to the Portland Adult Soapbox Derby Saturday at Mt Tabor Park. This…
In the ever-evolving and rapid digitization of the world of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), the importance of location-based data and spatial analytics cannot be understated. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have increasingly become an important strategic component, offering a vital competitive edge for AEC firms. One of the most prominent GIS platforms is Esri's ArcGIS, providing powerful location intelligence and spatial analytics capabilities to users worldwide.
What is Extended Reality (XR)?
The advent of XR has been very helpful for many industries, including Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) and also Manufacturing. XR technology is revolutionizing the way we design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure, facilitating better communication, enhancing collaboration, inspection, and increasing overall productivity and efficiency.
Are you as excited about the latest tech trends as I am? One trend in the digital transformation of industries that's got me on the edge of my seat is Digital Twins. These virtual replicas can transform the way we work in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) world and the data we use to inform decisions and drive design.
Let's dive in!
Last week I went tent camping with my girlfriend and our two dogs to the Crater Lake National Park area at Diamond Lake Oregon. Mosquitos were out in force, but manageable. We didn’t get into the National Park due to…
Being a technology geek has its benefits when trying to solve a local real estate sign theft issue. Long story short, I helped my partner to solve the case of the disappearing real estate signs. These real estate signs can…
Today is the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere. The first day of summer, often referred to as the summer solstice, is a special solar event celebrated globally, marking the longest day of the year in terms of…
Is there still a future for flat two dimensional (2D) writing or drawings, yes. 2D drawings and written communication have been around since the beginning of time as evidenced on cave walls and papyrus. Today many use these flat 2D methods based on needs, medium, cost, and effort and will continue to rely on them, even in design using CAD (Computer Aided Design).
CAD has dramatically changed the way we design and develop products, structures, and systems. CAD software today is more focused on 3D modeling, enabling engineers and designers to create three-dimensional representations of their ideas. However, amidst the dominance of 3D CAD, the question arises: Is there a future for 2D CAD?
Coho, my almost 2 year old hyper, sweet, sniffy, and energetic silver labrador is a rockstar when it comes to playing with, and testing toys. He takes some apart and removes their squeakers by performing what I call squeakerectomies.
In today's ever-evolving and crowded and “ruff” world of marketing, companies are constantly searching for new and creative ways to capture the attention of their target audience. One company that has knocked the dog ball out of the park in my opinion is BarkBox, a subscription service for dog products.
