    Movie thread

    Heard it was more of a "WTF" movie than anything.  Not WTF in a good way though but like WTF did I just watch.  It was not recommended.

    We've been on seven ? i think cruises with just my wife and I.  My son has been on two (he's 3) my daughter one (she's 1).  We enjoyed both of the cruises with the kids.  We spend time with them during the day, get off ship, explore.  Then at night put them in daycare from 5-10 or so so we can...

    Master Degree for MEP Electrical Engineer

    I wouldn't recommend any more formal education or degrees if you want to stay in this field. Study things that matter in this industry...commissioning, energy modeling, alternative fuels, leed (vomit), etc.

    Olympic Village "Uninhabitable" - or however you spell that

    America did it right.  Built buildings for the Olympics while having a purpose for them after the fact.  Most of these other countries spend this money then after the Olympics they become abandoned buildings.

    Suggestions for starting your own consulting firm

    Everything I'm saying is based off of what I've done the last 18 months with my own company. I've talked to numerous people in my town about starting their own thing but they get so hung up in the details (lawyers, accountants, website, business cards, blah blah) that they never go do the #1...

    What little things do people do that drive you crazy?

    I do that sometimes.  I wear prescription sunglasses and get out of car to run into the store and forget about them.  Since I'm mostly blind without them I have to wear them in the store to see what I need.
