Here's an updated model from my thesis. For all those wondering what exactly it is, I'm designing a new live-work model I'm calling: "live-with: a new typology in co-op live-work, intergration through overlap of work and residential." Or something like that. Basically it is looking at new work environment trends (such as the Google headquarters, and IDEO) that provide home-like amenities and small city/neighborhoods type feeling within the workplace. These work models don't have residential componets however. Most live-work developments are for single, individualistic businesses and don't provide for social interaction between residents. My project is looking at how work space and live space can come together in a single company (an industrial design company more specifically.)
Once the outlet for random photos and thoughts, most likely you'll find updates on the little guy & gal for a while. But don't worry, you'll still get photos of things not baby.

crazy drive up Parley's today
It's been snowing like crazy here lately. It's about time, but makes me bummed that I don't have time to go skiing. Anyway, today is one of the 2 days I go to work so I felt like I should brave the snow. It was pretty sketchy, cars were sliding around all over the place and I saw more than a few cars in the ditch and in accidents. I checked the online paper once I got to work and they were reporting 70+ traffic accidents today. Me taking pictures while driving did not cause any.

Table #2
This is the entry way table that I built for Terri for valentines day. As you can see it is for our keys, and other items (like wallets, phones, ipods, mail) that we used to throw on the old table we had in the dining room. The oiled hardwood is designed with a slight slope to it that dives into the stainless steel angle frame to catch the keys and loose change before it slides off the table and onto the ground. I still have to sandblast the stainless frame, but I didn't have time to do it before V-day.
