Genesis

We are proud to announce the arrival of our bouncing baby blog.  Born this afternoon at 12:35pm at Uptown Espresso in downtown San Luis Obispo, California, our baby weighed in at 6 Gigs, 14 bits, and was 21Msec long. Mom and baby blog are doing just fine, but daddy g2 passed out when asked to cut the (power) cord.

A BIG shout out to Heavy T for originally inseminating me with blog-itis, and for being there from conception, gestation, and birth, which took a total of about 50 minutes.  But more on that later...

This blog is initially dedicated my alter-ego Howard Roark.  As such, it is our intention that this site will become a public forum to engaging meaningful dialog and honest discussions for all things relating to architecture, design, and the enlightenment of the built environment.

I am not sure I like the words "inseminating" and my husband in the same sentence. But nonetheless, welcome to blogging. you will never be the same.

when your very 1st blog comment is posted by a musician rockstar, you know you're off to a kickin' start. thanks "d", my best to Halle + Jackson...that kid is going to blow us all away some day...!!

good morning jenn. sorry about your inseminating husband, but if that comment offended you, then definitely DO NOT read the IM text i just sent to trav.

i sense this blogging thing is going to be very dangerous....

welcome. i heart the garcias and ga+d.

the musician needs a kickass rhodes keyboard player for a jazzy tune. Know any?

Holls said...

ga+d kind of looks and sounds like another word? can you guess which one?

hey daniel: as a musician and semi-rocker myself, i understand the primordial need to interject profanity during the course of daily societal conversation in order to add emphasis or credibility to a statement or reference. it would, in fact, be incongruent and discordant to refer to yours truly as a "kick-donkey rhodes player"....just doesn't have that "Je ne sais quoi".

That said.....do you kiss your mother with that mouth?!?

holls: as the woman at the well stated: .."I sense you are a prophet".

ga+d may in fact look like a much more important word; our logo design is not accidental, but rather references the source of all inspirational design.

but don't take our word for it. i would refer you to the great German Architect Mies van der Rohe, who boldly stated that "God is in the details". We're just following Miesian logic and mastery.
