It’s time… finally! DBEI.org

@psubrian @RTCEvents On the map they’re only 1 inch apart! Chicaumberg, great place.

Hey @RTCEvents, remember that time when @wesleybenn thought we were in Chicago? I’m back at the same place 1 week shy of 10 years to the day, this time for a LEGO convention. This is where I expanded my professional family - best last minute decision ever to attend.

@PhilRead @TheRevitGeek Happens to the best of us! 😉

Shhhhhhh. He’s vewy , vewy sweepy. @TheRevitGeek⁩ is peacefully dreaming about submitting sessions for next years #AECBestPracticeRoundtables. Tentative Sunday April 27 - Friday May 2, 2025.

The really fascinating thing about XR headsets is that where our smartphones took physical products and turned them into apps, these headsets now allow us to turn our apps back into “physical” products.

John Walker @Fourmilab, one of the founders of @Autodesk, passed away this week. He was brilliant, articulate and visionary. Without him, Autodesk would not exist. RIP.

@a_swing_voter @RonFilipkowski He is demonstrating how he dries his hair

I thought he needed to comfort Melania.

@elonmusk And this is not a US problem, it is a global one (which makes it all the worse - the problem exists regardless of emigration patterns)

The US construction industry can increase available housing by 1% to 2% per year. But the US population is only 330M out of 8B. So if just ~4% of Earth moves here, housing would need to double, which is impossible, causing a massive homeless problem and house prices to be astronomically unaffordable.

@elonmusk We have the tech and the tools to massively improve those numbers, it is a question of education and implementation. Improvements in productivity, efficiency and sustainability would flow from the same process.

For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million. When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish. At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening. As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above. Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.

A very big congratulations to our top speakers of #DBWa2023 🎉 Thank you for being a part of our event, we couldn't have done it without you 😊🌟 We look forward to seeing you at #DBWa2024 #DBWa #DBEI #DBEIevents #DTS2023 #BILT #BCS2023 #Dataday

@lovecleanenergy @NotHoodlum @Seuuze1 No mate, must have been Queensland and Northern Territory that won.

@NotHoodlum @Seuuze1 More specifically, Tasmania. History rarely reports this.

NEVER FORGET: The Battle of LaGuardia 1775.

@_TheDanWarren Sounds interesting. I hope you’ll consider submitting it to BILT. #DBWa #DBEIevents
