Thanksgiving is an American holiday but I see people universally thanking people across all social networks. Here’s what needs to be said on each of the major social platforms: Twitter (My followers) - Thank you for following, mentioning and retweeting my content. If it weren’t for you no one would hear me and Twitter would be a big time waster – funny thing is that the majority of uniformed business people think this way.

Content is King! The right content, good content, smart content. How the content is to be judged is subjective, evaluated against personal criteria, as well as objective. It doesn't take a lot of effort to find something to complain about when you use content created by others. It isn't even all that hard to return to our own content a little later and have a different opinion about how well we made it.

The entire construction industry has undergone a change. Estimating for construction projects has become more difficult. Fewer project start-ups has more contractors bidding on less opportunities. . Today’s world is a much different place than twenty years ago. .

In the past I've written about using a line based family to document path of egress information. Brian Mackey with CAD-1 Denver recently shared a concept he uses for demonstrating that a stair well has sufficient clearance. He uses a railing family that has a profile to document the required clearance instead of what we'd usually use. In this example I quickly mocked up I just used a similar "guy" I'm calling Clarence, so Clarence can show the Clearance is met.
