Branching Out


beginning today, I’ll be writing features for Interesting Engineering. I’ll post one every three days or so, covering engineering, science, and technology. My slant, as it is here, is the history of things, and interpreting complex stuff in a way that makes sense for the rest of us. If such things interest you, please join me.

My first post is about Hyperloop, Elon Musk’s vision of future transit. Check it out here.

More than spring cleaning


Welcome to the redesigned UrbanMonique! 

We’ve grown immensely in the last couple of years, and as such, we needed more control over our site, and the ability to expand our activities to better serve you. This new site does all that. We hope you like it as much as we do. In addition to a fresher, less cluttered look, it’s a better platform for mobile devices, has no ads, offers video capability, and provides me with enhanced ability for custom programming.

I’ve been working on this for several weeks before letting it go live, but there’s bound to be stuff I’ve missed, or that just doesn’t float your boat – Feel free to let me know what you think, and if you see something that just doesn’t look or work right.
