Announcing CRICKET FOR SKETCH-UP!

UPDATE:  Okay, okay, okay.... you got me.  As if the all-to-obvious name and under-cooked logo were not already dead giveaways...  Yes, Cricket for Sketch-up is April Fools fiction.  Interestingly (or maybe sadly?) this post has resulted in more unique daily traffic to The Proving Ground than any other single day of traffic.  Is it really that funny?... or is there really a compelling need in the design community for a visual programming language for Sketch-Up?   Let me know what you think.

Original post...

The Proving Ground is proud and excited to announce a new innovative plug-in for 2013:  Cricket for Sketch-up.  This new tool will usher in a new era of generative design that is combined with Sketch-Up's painfully easy-to-use modeling interface.

We are currently working through a few patent and copyright issues with some other insect-named program that we have never heard of, but rest assured The Proving Ground had this idea first and we will do our best to make sure computational designers can use the program they really want to use...

Visit The Proving Ground tomorrow, April 2, for an update on this exciting new tool...

Gotcha!
