This blog is fantastic! I'm glad to see my "riots in the Breezeway" image is still getting some good use.

Ahh, it's yours! One of my favorites! Updated the post and credited you in the entry. Didn't know who made it originally.

Regarding topics, I would really enjoy construction updates… new dorms, Innovation Village, etc., even if it's just a quick post.

I'm with you on that. Typically I'm in Boca once a week to visit family and always drop by campus but haven't been lately. Should be there next Tuesday, so I'll snap some more pictures of the new dorm and whatever else I can find (may spread that over a couple days though).

For what it's worth, I don't believe there's anything happening with Parking Garage 3 at Innovation Village. It was originally supposed to break ground in July 2012 and finish in April 2013 but I read something about January now, which then puts the opening during  mid-football season (October). I expect the garage aspect will open first and the retail will lag behind… I could see the garage construction people pulling out in October, the retail people moving in and making their own construction adjustments to their space, and the retail "officially" opening in January 2014 for the Spring semester. That gives them a whole semester to "soft open," figure out what changes needed to be made, tweak it over the summer, and be ready to go in Fall 2014 when all the students and the football fans are here.

That would be especially important if, and cross your fingers here, the Greek housing actually went up and opened alongside the new garage.

I know you're not doing it for number but I imagine you get a good number of hits a day.

Averaging about 15 hits on "peak" hours like 8 pm (I guess you guys surf the internet after dinner?). 81 pageviews yesterday, 106 today (as of 1 pm), 501 overall since starting last week. I have no idea if those are good or bad numbers but that's where I'm at.

99% of the traffic comes from this site. The other sites… I'm not even sure they're real sites, with names like "in.ter.net.info."

It's about the same number of random traffic sources as I got when I put some of my music up on YouTube. The internet is weird.

awesome job. haven't missed a post yet.

Here is a current story (sad one too) regarding parking garge construction down at Miami-Dade College;

Sure hope ours are built better, both now and in the future!

Yeah, wow. That's terrible. Hopefully they can save all the construction workers! That construction company is going to face hard times getting work after this… doesn't matter if it was an accident or not.

How many of these are you making?

I really enjoy reading them, but aren't you going to run out of things?

That's a very good question and the answer is that I don't really know.

At a daily pace, I could burn through most of my list in the next two weeks. I can't keep up that pace. If I slow that down to like once a week, I could stretch it out more, at least til January.  Eventually I'll hit my limit and have to push away from the table, only updating when something comes up.

For now I'm enjoying writing it so it's coming out daily.

Are you in school currently? If so, why not just wait until winter break to pump these out? You will have more time to do it and I won't be distracted from my schoolwork reading them hahah.

I'm in medical school (hence the name). I pump these out during study breaks/when things slow down.

Nice blog, I like his last idea too!

Doc,
Do you know if they are shooting a new commercial? I noticed a small production team at the jupiter campus this afternoon and they were shooting as I was leaving today.
