I had a presentation last Thursday on Julia Morgan, the architect from San Francisco. I’ve uploaded it if you are interested. If you don’t know who Julia Morgan is, you should, especially if you are a women or live in the SF bay area.
If I weren’t so tired. I’d tell you more about here right now. So I guess you’ll have to watch my Quicktime movie of the presentation.
