Viva Las Vegas
Great designs are something that folks look upon in astonishment and amazement. There is no greater design than that created by Mother Nature. I just flew in to Vegas for the 2009 Parker College Chiropractic Seminar and had a great experience with my flight. I can honestly say that this has been the best experience I have ever had on an airplane and with airport security, that's not saying much considering I have had a lot of awful experiences. This time I flew Delta and save the $15 dollars to check in one bag, I have no complaints, they took off on time both on my original and connecting flight and treated me first rate.
Back to design, the beauty of it all lies in the view from the plane. Due to the early nature of my travels, I left Jacksonville at 6:40AM, I was force to a nap and some peanuts for snack. Delta now has individual TVs in each seat head rest a la Jet Blue, with TV being offer free and HBO series and movies at a $6 premium. While I had a window seat, I kept the window covering down for the majority of my trip. Not only for my napping time sake, but also as to not disturb those seating near me. Contrary to popular belief I can be considerate ... sometimes. However, 30 minutes out to landing time as the announcement came from the pilot, I open the window covering to reveal a magnificent view of the Grand Canyon, the Vegas desert, and carvings made by rivers that could not come close to that which mankind has ever design. I don't have the words to describe what I saw, but you can judge for yourself on this photos.
The bottom line is that even those who are not designers can appreciate what nature has design for us. Those of us who do design can learn a thing or two on the beauty of simplicity provided to us. If we reach to nature and appreciate all the clean lines, we too can design a thing or two which would leave other breathless and speechless. A colleague reminded me that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"; for me the only thing that happens in Vegas is work and I surely would like to leave that behind, wish me luck I'll be throwing some coins into the slots.

I can only express the grandiose of design and my desire to revisit. I arrived in Vegas with $40 and left Vegas with $40, that's not to say I didn't gamble, I just played wisely and walked away with my socks still on. I enjoyed about 7 hours of gambling, but the most fun was hanging out with my cohorts and exploring the Vegas strip.
