TOI-blog-studio reaches 1 full year of diatribe!

About this time last year I started this little blog thing on TOIstudio as an effort to find a place to share my interests and critique. In that long year I have managed a semi-regular posting operation (broken up by recent events which I will soon share), have made some good friends, made some people angry (which is always a goal of mine) and raised some interest and concern in arenas which I find worthy.

Good.

This year is time to even further create change. I am attempting to start a
Cleveland Chapter of Architecture for Humanity and we are having our first 'meeting' July 12th. You can check out the website for more information and to become involved yourself.

TOIstudio is also moving to actual physical location. I don't mean that it is moving to a desk, but to an actual workshop/studio/gallery with the hopes of creating an 'idea incubator' for sustainable and socially progressive project creation and development. You could say that I am moving to a giant garage, but I prefer to call it a loft.

My intentions so far are thus. Do some good, share some knowledge, figure science stuff out and try to keep myself amused and busy enough to not get too bored and mean.

Anyway, those are the current reasonings behind my llackadaisical sporadic posting. Once I get my computer set back up and the studio up and running more I should be right back on the horse.

Thanks for bearing with me.
