You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central

* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.

I like Pittsburgh. The geography of it is gorgeous, what a perfect place for a city, at the confluence of 3 rivers. I've really not spent that much time there but I went past the neighborhoods that surround Pitt, Carnegie Mellon, and another one beyond that and they were all really lively and interesting. Pitt's campus especially was very dense, and beautiful in my opinion. I had no idea. Anyway, I wouldn't mind spending more time there.
Baltimore had some great areas as well. It's a huge city, apparently it only recently dropped out of the top 10 population-wise. It needs a lot of help with its crime rates though.
If nothing else this trip made me realize - finally - how small Cincinnati is, or is becoming....the brain drain/great talent exodus here is real, and alarming. I am likely to become part of that in the near future.

Jeepers, DubK, if Cincy suffers from brain drain then by comparison Indy is already brain dead, I guess.
Also, dangit, I should have mentioned that Cafe Hon in Baltimore is awesome. Don't suppoe you made it there?
Goodnight all - I was super-efficient at work today and thus am going to bed juuuust before midnight for once yay!

hmmmm i doubt that any city i left thought they had experienced a brain drain...
ACK! Homework crisis! Printer DIED. If I had known that would happen, I wouldn't have purchased those prismacolor markers earlier today.... Anyone had any experience with one of these babies?

Oh, that reminds me lb, I flew into and out of Indianapolis for the first time this weekend! Went right over the... thing where all the cars go round and round. And another smaller one of those. Then in the airport I saw dudes reading whole magazines just about cars going round and round. The town looked so small and flat and green from the air, and I liked how it was basically town and then... country country country for miles all around! Nice to get away from the unbroken chain of suburbs that has swallowed the entire eastern seaboard. Your airport has a total lack of clear signage, however. I found my connecting flight by walking up and down the halls looking at the screens on every gate. Luckily there are only like 10 gates. People seemed very nice though.

rationalist, i don't hate usc. and i reference football because you've mentioned several times yourself. the consistency & sincerity of tone with which you always respond is just another one of the small amusements that i find floating amongst my archinect neighborhood. it's nothing more than that, nothing less. cheers.
a message to those listening to the show on their fm radios in their cars: 'don't freak out, this is actually a tv show'.

People are jerks- the only response was to say that someone thought it was overpriced. He said, 'look at Kelly Blue book'. Yes, I DID look at Kelly Blue Book, thanks. Then I saw that it didn't take into account the alarm system or the brand new tires, or the fact that you're going to call it overpriced no matter WHAT price I ask, so I'd rather be talked INto a fair price than OUT of a fair price and into a low one!

Nah, the license plate frame's enough. Unless I could find the sillouette of Tommy Trojan's head in a window sticker. I'd rock that. I took off all my parking stickers, too. Except Otis, which I still actually use. And yeah, I like a little wing on my cars. But just a little one.
