Work and Play

Work has been interesting. So far I've been working with software I've never used to solve problems I've never encountered (designing piles to support a mat foundation), but I've been amazed how quickly I've caught on. It helps that we're doing schematic design, which is the first part of the design process, and means that everything we do now will be reworked in more detail later.

Today I visited the New York Public Library, best known for its lions:

Now, for a limited time, also available in Lego®


The Gutenberg Bible, on display.
Audubon's Birds of America

You may notice a lack of bookshelves in these photos. This was representative of the library as a whole. Finding this situation somewhat funny, I inquired of the receptionist as to the location of said books. She very patiently explained that this was a reference library and that computers were available on the third floor. Ah me. I'll have to look somewhere less notable.
