Simplified.
For those who have been reading neoHOUSTON a long time ( and visit the web page rather than just pulling our feed! ), you’ll notice a radical overhaul of the web site today. In what’s become roughly an annual tradition, I’ve redesigned the site to fit where I feel it is and is going as of right now.
What I’ve been up to…
In May I spoke at the Congress for the New Urbanism. I presented a project I’ve been working on for many years, which is now beginning to reach a stable point where it makes sense to open it up to the outside world. This project is called Net Attraction Framework, and it’s my attempt to [...]
Traveling Season
For regular readers, you may have noticed a sudden drop in posting activity over the past three weeks. I’ve been out of town on a variety of business and personal trips for about 15 of the last 30 days, and will still be traveling for most of the next two weeks as well. So you [...]
Speaking Tonight on Property Value Theory
For those who are interested, I’ll be speaking tonight at 7PM at CNU-Houston’s April Professional Development meeting. The meeting will be held at “New Living,” which is a hardware store in the Rice Village area.

But more on that in a minute… Steven also proposed an interesting idea – a [...]
About the new web site design
Returning readers will notice that our web site looks somewhat different today. I’ve made a bunch of changes on the surface. You’ll notice that things look a little crisper, more polished, and overall more readable. Some redundant content has been trimmed out, and the important stuff has been made more prominent. There have been vastly [...]
Happy Thanksgiving
I’m a day early, but I wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving holiday! I’m enjoying a short hiatus from writing, as it’s given me some time to catch up on life and save up a few worthwhile ideas for future blog posts. I’ve enjoyed the series on High-Speed Rail, and the many comments I [...]
Welcome to the new neoHOUSTON
Returning readers will find the site looks pretty different today. Over the last couple months Dave and I have been working a lot behind the scenes to totally overhaul the platform. Today we’re introducing the new site, which we’ve custom-built from the ground up in order to let us do some really great new stuff.
Guest Post
Today I’m happy to share a guest post from regular reader and comment poster Appetitus Rationi Pareat. APR is a lawyer here in Houston, and was kind enough to share some of his legal expertise with me after my comments last week about the Texas Constitution. The article he has prepared for today is short [...]
