just gettin up and running, doing a little test while waiting for new (widescreen :-)) laptop to make its much-awaited appearance.

quick foray through the archinect job postings results in a daunting list of software it looks like we will be/are in the process of/should be freaking out about learning to be remotely employable in the future:

AutoCAD
3D Studio Max
Rhino
Dreamweaver or HTML
AutoDesk Architectural Desktop
PhotoShop
Illustrator
SketchUp
Maya
Revit
Vectorworks
formZ
Flash

better get on that. snap snap. glad i have so much free time.

school starts monday. general pollee reaction ranges from stunned disbelief to general panic and immediate trip to liquor store.
