Beginnings

I decided it was necessary to start a professional blog, which rather than a daily account of my adventures, will be semi-continuous effort detailing my professional research and interests.

Right now I'm gearing up to present a Soapbox for the UCA Honors College. My topic: How Suburbia Killed the Community. Basically, I'm introducing New Urbanist and Neo-Traditional approaches of urban and suburban development to those that attend.

So far, a large portion of my data is coming from Suburban Nation by Duany, Plater and Zyberk, the folks behind dpz.com. They're actually involved in the Hendrix Traditional development going on. Also, this one. Hopefully, that'll link you to them. If not, select Arkansas and then in the pop-up box, choose the two Hendrix studies.

Anyway, I didn't mean for this to turn into a real post, so I'll go now.

Happy Beginnings
