Social Circles

Just yesterday I was invited to Google+ by one of my inner circle friends – a term more appropriate than ever – and in that context I wanted to share a few thoughts on it, and at the same time what I’m feeling about other popular social media platforms today.

I’m what you would call the average social media user, perhaps even above average. I have a profile on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, deviantArt (until just recently), YouTube and Flickr, a few WordPress blogs, and I use them all fairly regularly. I probably qualify as “knowledgeable” in a social media context. Not an expert by any means, but I know my way around.

Useful iPad apps for architects and designers

UPDATE: April 2nd, 2012: Paper

Since my purchase of Apple’s iPad I have continuously been searching for useful applications for my use as a landscape architecture student. The list grows by the day. In this post I will list applications I have come to use regularly in my studies, as well as recommendations on useful tools for the architect and designer on the go. Many of the applications featured in this list have previously been selected as App of the Week in the Apple application store. As such, only quality apps are on this list. Clicking on the links will take you to the application’s information page connected to iTunes.
I will update this post with more handy apps as time goes by – If you have recommendations, don’t hesitate to leave me a reply!
