Safety Notice: Con-Man in Boston

Please note that a notorious con-man named Elliot Davis has been conning people in the Boston area for what appears to be about 10 years. He was spotted in the Back Bay area last night. According to an article on the Odyssey:

"A well-dressed Davis approaches someone on the street and tells them a sob story of a flat tire. He only needs a few bucks to buy a fix-a-flat, he pleads. This "few bucks" has been as high as $80 in some stories. Con artists usually ask for a non-rounded amount of money--$12, $14, $22-- in hopes that his prey does not have exact change and ends up giving $20 or $30 flat. For those who do not have cash on them, Davis points to an ATM conveniently located right around the corner. He is rather convincing because many people do go to the ATM, but still others do not."

You can see a picture of Davis above, and below you can also read the full Odyssey article, as well as several discussion boards regarding Davis.

Lecture Recap :: Paul Doherty

By Rand Lemley, B.Arch Candidate

Technology is in a state of constant change and advancement. This seems obvious to many of us as we are often left to drown in the deluge of new gadgets and software that pour out of the product pipeline every day. How are we to stay afloat and discern which pieces of technology are worth our time and effort to adopt?

In a way, Paul Doherty has been both an aid to and propagator of this problem. As a registered architect, author, and corporate consultant, he has been involved in the design of many new software platforms, such as Revit, Buzzsaw, TRIRIGA, and Google Earth.

Though he is invested in creating fresh tech, Paul also takes care to inform others about how to best take advantage of the opportunities that new tech provides. He credits his architectural education for the ability to quickly switch between macro- and micro-thinking, big picture and direct application. In his visit to the BAC for the Cascieri 21 lecture, Paul shared examples of how he h…
