Happy (belated) New Year!
I hope everyone had a good holiday season. I spent the past few weeks with family and friends, relaxing and recharging my batteries. It was also great to be back in a warmer climate watching a blizzard move through the US.
My mom and stepfather have successfully set up a vineyard winery, with products now available locally in central Texas. So congratulations to them for their hard work! We celebrated the holidays with their organically farmed, sustainably managed, zero-mile wine.
New Year’s Day is also a chance to reflect on the past and contemplate the future. 2009 was a redeeming year for APOS, over 100 posts published and I was very proud of a few. Here’s a list of my favorites from 2009:
- Placemaking in Irvington
- Greenwashing the Construction Industry
- Iconic Structures (series)
- Role of Structural Engineers in Sustainable Design
- Gender Issues in Engineering
- Icehouse Featured in Magazine
- Successful Renovation of Local Schoolhouse
- How Large is Downtown Indy?
- All Infrastructure Users are Created Equal
- Metastable Equilibrium
If I missed anyone else’s favorite, they are all listed in the Archives!
Looking to the future, I anticipate another year full of personal and professional growth. I have found the website to be a great hobby. I love bringing together my interests in the community with my interests in engineering. Blogging = awesomeness defined. I’m even going to kick it up a notch, as my wife bought me a new camera. 10MP of photographic power in a pocket-friendly plastic form.
