a little network congestion

Did you have some problems logging on this morning? Maybe your web pages weren't loading quite as fast as usual?

I know why. My sister, Melanie Freeland, started her blog yesterday. Now I'm not trying to pull a "this internet is not big enough for both of us," but did she have to follow the regular Smith process? Really Melanie is winning so important that you now think Blogging is a sport?

She writes in her first post, "...it is not when you enter the race but how you finish." Come on! Isn't it just like an architect to ignore business values such as "speed to market."

Alright, all kidding aside. Melanie is a wonderful sister and a great architect. Using only Lincoln Logs she could design the house of your dreams. While her blog won't be nearly as impressive it might still be worth a visit.
