Grendel and the Bridge
9. July 2008 by Joe Gergen.
I visited the 35W Bridge project the other day and was able to see the main spans coming from each side of the river to within four feet of each other. My first thought was: What if they don’t meet in the middle? It immediately brought to mind those feelings of panic after you have put a ton of work into something and right at the end it doesn’t seem right. Read the rest of this entry »

Saving us from us
27. June 2008 by Joe Gergen.
I was driving through downtown Minneapolis the other day and I saw this big van that had the words “Donut Destruction” on it. Unfortunately what it actually ended up saying was “Document Destruction.” Read the rest of this entry »

17. June 2008 by Joe Gergen.

Being somewhat disillusioned by the typical new large, upscale house, I was pleasantly surprised by the intimacy I felt walking around. I did not know that there were such things out there Read the rest of this entry »

Vomiting and a Sense of Humor
12. June 2008 by Joe Gergen.

Keeping it simple
7. June 2008 by Joe Gergen.
I was very excited to deliver a walnut bench to a client for a house that is on a Home Tour. It was rush order from the interior designer to create a piece that would go up against a wall to anchor a piece of art and yet at the same time not compete with the art and at the same time be elegant.

This is the beginning
3. June 2008 by Joe Gergen.
And should I then presume? And how should I begin? Prufrock would ask that and I guess so will I. And so I will begin in the middle since we haven’t time for the beginning and thankfully we have not come yet to the end.
