Bimblather: bimdoc, bimba, bimunits, bimPapa

Posted on April 6, 2023April 6, 2023 by Ed Medley

I think of myself as a bimbo – one who specializes in bimrocks (block-in-matrix rocks). For several years I proudly wore the PhD graduation T-shirt that Jim Falls, CEG gave me in 1994, emblazoned with his word “bimbeau“, a more elegant alternative to my bimbo.

What are YOU doing with bimrocks info from this website?

Posted on March 28, 2023April 23, 2023 by Ed Medley

There seems to be a lot of money spent on research on SRMs in the extensive colluvial/debris flow deposits of interest for dams,…

Posted on March 20, 2023March 26, 2023 by Ed Medley

Last year an architect offered to buy my bimdoc.com domain name. I don’t think she was interested in my website – just the name. She offered me a price but I had to say no to her, despite that “bimdoc” fitted in beautifully with her BIM practice. But it also fits in nicely into my…
