Hello, World!

At present, a primary mission in my professional realm is to help move the AEC industry into the Internet Age. As the oldest of engineering disciplines, we have gotten comfortable with terminology and workflows honed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The proliferation of always-on connectivity and instant access to information has dramatically reshaped society since the dawn of the new millenium. However, many segments of AEC still operate as if there is a large drafting room in the home office filled with rows of t-squares and electric erasers.

64-bit Public Infrastructure

As I wrapped up my Bachelor’s degree in 2001, mainstream computing lived in Windows NT or 2000. A few years into my career, I began to see glimpses of 64 bit computing and spent many productive years in the land of Windows XP, then Windows 7. In particular, the ability to address more than 2GB in RAM drastically improved the performance of our CAD platforms. Hence, the x64 suffix in my username is used to indicate a modern, contemporary vision for Civil Engineering.
