Versioning 2009

Over at Archinect - and in great company - I've contributed a prediction hopeful plea for what the new year may bring us if we're lucky. Lots of people are excited about the new presidency and the forceful wake-up call that the economic crisis has delivered to us. Rather than get frothy over green collar jobs, the new-new deal, or any of the other excellent promises we've been offered (and I will wait patiently for) I am excited about boredom. Specifically, I'm excited about what can happen when a large pool of supremely talented, motivated, and creative people (some of whom are architects of various ilk) realize that they have nothing better to do than to pursue their own best ideas.

Make sure you check out the predictions from pals Dan, Enrique, Fred, Javier, Kazys, Marcus, Markus, Mimi, and everyone else while you're there. Got something else filling up your crystal ball for 2009? Leave a comment; let's discuss.
