Well 2018 is quickly coming to a close… we’ve now reached
December and the end of the year is clearly in sight. I have been asked quite a bit recently on if
they’ll be any major deals before the year ends. Typically year-end is a target date for deals
and in the past we’ve had a few big ones hit in mid to late December. This year, I think we may have a couple but
based on what I am hearing it will be on the smaller side… but you never
know. So while this month is one of
holiday and celebration, it may also produce some interesting news… stay tuned!
Elsewhere…
-- I’m going to be a pain with reminders, but I only do it
because it’s worthy. First one is Annual
Conference- coming In January. Last week
it was announced that Lisa Rammig of Eckersley O’Callghan & Partners will
be the featured presenter and folks it is worth coming to this event just for
that. I briefly met Lisa at glasstec and
she’s incredibly intelligent and has awesome insight at the architectural
trends and drivers in our world.
Seriously a must see. Add this
into the other subjects slated to be discussed like AB262, IBC, ASHRAE, and
full technical meetings and you really can gain a ton of intel by being
there. If you have any questions, feel
free to ask me, otherwise please sign up today.
-- MAJOR Thirsty Thursday alert on a crucial subject… School
Security. Glass plays a big role and
this webinar gives you a very true and in-depth background what is happening in
that world and how our industry fits in.
If you are doing anything in this space or want to do something than
this is where you have to be to get up to speed. Check it out on December 13th and register HERE.
-- This week’s wild looking building? Look for it coming soon in Miami….
Incredible.
-- Time for the monthly review of Glass Magazine…. This is the
Metal Companies issue and features the annual Top Metal Companies report along
with stories continuing labor challenges; edge grinding, and a great take on
the tariff adventures out there. Cover to cover yet again very solid
issue. As for the ad of the month… I
have to give it to Trex Commercial Products for their snazzy ad that really
showed the awesomeness of glass. (I’m a
sucker for great shots of glass in use) Tremendous work as always by Tessa
Miller and her team at Trex.
-- Speaking of railings, if you watch the TV show “New
Amsterdam” the set they use has an incredibly cool railing and structural wall
setup. If anyone out there knows what
this one is or supplied the materials, let me know- would love to pass the
kudos on. Good stuff and again, shows
glass in a fabulous way.
-- Last this week… I came across this fun and snarky look at
what the new Amazon HQ2 in New York City could look like… I swear this story of
Amazon opening in NYC is going to take 50 more turns before its said and
done. In any case, I like the fun look
at it….
LINKS of the WEEK
-- This concept for housing has some potential… have seen itpreviously with malls.
-- Love this story!
Truly shows when people want to be “influencers” (or think they are) they’ll go to any lengths.
VIDEO of the WEEK
This may be the best video I have ever posted. Hang-glider guy not strapped in and holds on…
for dear life… incredible. It was a
serious feat for him to hang on there.
Check it out!
