One of the stranger aspects of attending Autodesk University, with its early December timing, is seeing the Casino decorations. They deploy most of the traditional Christmas themes without actually mentioning it. Although fabulous the idea of “Christmas” in Vegas, even the “Happy Holidays” version, seems rather strange given it’s usual reputation! Anyway, a shot from the Bellagio lobby (below) makes for an interesting banner.

After a hectic year, especially since getting back from AU, it will be good to relax a bit, enjoy the summer weather and get a chance to finish some of those posts lurking in the draft folder.
Happy Holidays readers, enjoy your break (if you get one) and thanks for visiting!
PS: You may have heard the poor folks in Christchurch had another round of major earthquakes today. Awful experience but glad to report AFAIK that family, friends and colleagues in the area all ok. The Warehouse Limited are posting updates to the Earthquake page on the website. A page we all hoped would never be needed again.
