When I created this page, I realized that there are many more sites I've certainly left off. I plan on adding more as I find them, (and yes, that means remember them). So apologies in advance to those I've left off! I plan on correcting that as much as I can!
Look for more to be added in the future.
Things that make design go ZOOM!

Bombastic and Bimtastic (Building Information Modeling)
Jay
Zallan’s blog is a wealth of information on Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk Revit, not to mention
the interesting happenings of technology evolving in an architectural world. He’s one of my “go to guys” for BIM and
architectural related news.
Another
one of the “Knight’s of the BIM Round Table”.
Steve Bennett brings years of experience with BIM to the table. If you’re planning on doing something in BIM,
there’s a good chance Steve’s already done it!
My winter retreat where I unplug for a while for a few
snowboarding vacations during the colder months. You may find that I miss a blog post or two
while I’m up enjoying the cold, fresh, mountain air.

If you read my profile bio, I like Warbirds…. A lot… Like in the, “If I have to explain it, you
wouldn’t understand” way. I can tell you
how to tell the difference between an F4U-5 Corsair, and an F4U-5N Corsair.
(The N is a night fighter).
Planes of Fame is the non-profit organization where I volunteer and do my small part to
keep the history of airplanes like these, and the stories of those that flew
them, alive for future generations.

The Rebicyclist
This is just cool. Just one guy in Oregon making belts and art out of old bike parts. I have one of his belts made out of an old bike tire. It's cool, it's useful, and it's one less thing in a landfill!
