The X Block



In Palm Springs, part of my block expedition happened in a pretty nice, air-conditioned beamer with a handsome driver and two friends to witness and verify the new discoveries. Maybe when I become a block-hunting celebrity and have my own design show, I'll always have this entourage. Usually, I am by myself making U-turns and parking illegally.

one small step for Intern Architect, one large step for Intern-kind...

After 5 years of education, 2.5 years of work experience, 2,0000 miles of re-locating, three employer verification letters, one official university transcript, a $100 eligibility fee, and another two months of waiting, the California Architects Board has sent me my ELIGIBILITY NOTICE.
"This letter is to inform you that your Application for Eligibility Evaluation has been received and processed and you are eligible for the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). Your education and/or work experience has been reviewed and verified as noted above."

I've never been happier to be another number!

The Dot Block



My weekend scientific block collecting visit to Palm Springs was very productive. The Dot Block is a new specimen, that to the untrained eye, would be mistaken for the Cartoon Block (last seen in Anaheim).
