2009-08-27T06:18:00.000-07:00

A constellation in space would be the perfect monument for him. It will consist of numerous inhabitable space station sized radio satellites, mimicking one of his famous dance moves. Each satellite will include large football sized video screens showing videos and images that can be viewed with a telescope. The monument will be associated and connected to today's popular social networks. Future space travel will allow the satellites to be used for museums to Michael. Orbiting the globe it will be a reminder to all nations of his legacy.

Central Florida Commuter Rail

2008-05-05T14:46:00.001-07:00

You may have noticed in the Orlando Sentinel over the weekend that the Florida Legislature did not approve the necessary funding for Commuter Rail in Central Florida. While there still seems to be a glimmer of hope from Senator Mica's address this afternoon things still appear dim. Having for a time been subjected to the commute on I-4 from Deltona and now working on a station design for Orange County I have been following these events closely. I for one would be very disappointed if this does not happen for our region. Let us know your thoughts on commuter rail.
