'Him'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Architect etymology:
1563, from M.Fr. architecte, from L. architectus, from Gk. arkhitekton "master builder," from arkhi- "chief" + tekton "builder, carpenter." Architecture also is from 1563
I'd like the be a Can Opener, except there'd be whupass in mine.
Oh, I checked out Rick's assertion before I called him interesting, believe you me.
ION, awesome. The key person here who can never get back to me because she's too busy? One of her key staff people just gave notice. Arrrggghhh!
So, what are your specific requirements?
Not too far north (i.e., not too cold). Not too expensive. Not too big, not too small. Traffic not too bad. Actual diversity and culture. We'd probably look for a townhouse rather than a house with a yard. Husband would like places to bike. I would like some kind of singing opportunity. Good restaurants.
So ideally, we'd be aiming for Durham, or possibly CH?
I knew someone who'd bitch about the mis-application of "engineer" as in terms like "software engineer." Made not better by the transfer of the School of Computer Science into the Engineering Department, also resulting in Comp Sci Majors getting a Bachelor of Engineering, not Science.
So while I was at the etymology site, I looked and found:
c.1300, from O.Fr. engin "skill, cleverness," also "war machine," from L. ingenium "inborn qualities, talent," from in- "in" + gen-, root of gignere "to beget, produce." At first meaning a trick or device, or any machine (especially military); sense of one that converts energy to mechanical power is 18c., especially of steam engines. Engineer "locomotive driver" is first attested 1839, Amer.Eng.
I think we're good.
Me, not actually. But I give up on trying to sleep.

I hear it's nice in Utopia. Hee.

Portland?
Right now, with a set of aged grandparents and a set of aging parents, Portland's a little farther away from New Orleans than I'd like to be.
Fair enough. The restaurant/bike criteria pinged me.

Porridge not to hot or cold.
Powell's alone is nearly temptation enough.
