It’s not easy being green

14 July, 2010 (12:00) | Pittsburgh | By: sixf00t4

Here’s an update on some Hill District projects: YMCA: This is going in 2 blocks from my house on Centre Avenue. It is currently slated for an early 2012 completion. Should be awesome to have an indoor basketball court and pool so close! Also, it’ll be one of the city’s largest green certified buildings. Post-Gazette [...]

The bloom box

9 July, 2010 (12:00) | Geeked Out | By: sixf00t4

Have you heard about the Bloom Box yet?  Probably not.  It’s been featured on 60 minutes earlier this year, but still is a pretty quiet technology.  It’s a clean energy source that can power the average american home in the size of a gallon of milk. First off, this thing is legit.  This isn’t just [...]

Sorry I’m not home right now

Check out this installation art that looks like a giant spider web but it’s made out of packing tape.  You can actually crawl inside it.  We need to get this to the Mattress Factory!!! www.fastcompany.com/1656197/designers-create-spiderman-worthy-cave-from-packing-tape

The jitney

7 May, 2010 (10:41) | Pittsburgh | By: sixf00t4

When I bought my house in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, my roommate, Jordan, and I noticed that there were always people huddled around this building at the corner of Wylie Ave and Erin Street.  We were unsettled, but also a little curious as to what was really going on there.  Jordan asked my neighbor, [...]

Hey, remember me?

15 March, 2010 (22:01) | Personal Update | By: sixf00t4

It’s been a while since I posted a personal update.  Things in married life go well.  New job goes well.  Thinking about going back to school in the fall.  That might be the level of detail you get in the updates going forward…not really sure.  I don’t really want to write about my life with [...]

The kids are alright

3 January, 2010 (23:14) | Thoughts and ideas | By: sixf00t4

Watching J’aime’s kids the other day, gave me an idea.  I call it KidCom.  It’s a device, much like a watch, that your kids wear. In it’s simplest form, it just has the time on it and you can set alarms on it that say things like "1 hours before Daddy gets home", or "it’s [...]

My Avis rental car and customer service experience

29 December, 2009 (14:15) | Ramblings | By: sixf00t4

Avis customer support has exhausted my patience, so I’m considering this the final chapter.  If Avis is your cheapest rate when you go to rent a car, take a second to think about the risk you might run of having to deal with customer service.  I am not going to be a loyal Avis customer [...]

I cant hide from the shelf in the room

26 December, 2009 (17:02) | Ideas for my house. | By: sixf00t4

One of my favorite things in industrial and functional art is efficient use of space.  People design their furniture and living spaces to make life work well in small places.  This ins’t your feng shui movement/placement, this is getting the best use out of space.  I’ve seen hgtv shows where couples fit everything they own, [...]

Should I fly to Los Angeles to find my brother?

13 November, 2009 (12:54) | Memories | By: sixf00t4

This post is classified under "memories" for those facebook readers that don’t see categories.  I wanted to write down my memory of the day I found out my brother had passed.  Mom – be warned. Caleb and I slept in what would be called "Uncle Jay’s" room together when we lived at my Grandma’s house.  [...]
