There is another kind of architecture, the architecture of information technology. The same sort of design decisions which work in real world design have similar implications in the virtual world.
Colin has been programming computers since before he could drive (legally). When he does this work he often partners with Dean Cameron who is a whiz at the CSS style sheet fiddling.
These are the significant projects over the last couple decades which Colin has been involved in as a system architect. All of them are projects he started on his own, and in the past decade he would bring Dean in to help with the details of how it looked to the outside world.
