Lemon remains unimpressed. He is more than familiar with the concepts of angular momentum and centrifugal “force”. You better have somethin’ real special there, Jim.

I am beginning to believe that a course in Drawing Mechanical-Looking Things Adequately should be a requisite feature of a standard undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum. I personally had a small introduction to perspective and technical drawing in my freshman design class, which I considered surprisingly innovative at the time, but now I can’t understand how drafting isn’t a larger part of engineering education. I would expect most any job in the field would require some degree of it, which is more than can be said for some core curriculum subjects.

November Shift went live a year ago this month (August 6th, to be exact). Since then, about 32 pages have been posted (or the equivalent of; re: double page spreads). That’s not terrible, but I certainly can’t say that I’ve been updating weekly and definitely not always on Thursday. At some point soon, I suppose, I’ll remove the “Updates Thursday Nights” from the site description. All that aside, though, I am definitely continuing November Shift – if anything, I have more passion for it than ever and will hopefully take it in some interesting directions over the next year and the ones following it. Keep checking back! There will always be another page coming – eventually.
