I’m gonna kill Mike…

Not just any Mike, though. Specifically, Mike Puckett. I love SolidWorks World, but I try to keep thoughts of it at bay until necessary. I’d been doing quite well, too…until today. Then Mike had to go and talk about the SWW website (see it here) and now I’m off in la-la land thinking about SWW ‘09.

All I can think about is all the presentations, the vendor fair, the food, catching up with old friends. (You were one of those friends, Mike, now I’m going to have to rethink that). On top of all that, SWW ‘09 is going to be in Orlando, Florida from February 8th-11th. I live in Seattle. Have you ever been in Seattle during February? It’s wet and cold. I’m thinking that by the time SWW rolls around, I may be taking a much needed vacation. Spend a few extra days basking in the Florida sun…

Anyway, keep an eye out for the announcements regarding SWW, and start hammering on your boss about the value of sending you. You still have a good 6 months to work on him/her.

If Mike's buying, I'll pretend to be pissed off too. (Great idea, Jeff!)

Jeff,
Just think, this next Solidworks World you get to go as a normal person, and not as a VAR puppet! I'm also planning to stay in Orlando until the following Monday so I can spend 3 days at the theme parks, and possibly go to the Daytona 500 if it all works out. I have never been to Orlando, and I'm a Disney fan, so it should be fun. Plus I'm working on some new methods of reporting from the conference itself!
**Very true, Mike. Actually, I'm hoping to be attending as I did in '07...a member of the press.
For what it's worth, I wouldn't actually kill you. Buying a round or two would garner you forgiveness.**

About Jeff's Tool Shed

While most of what I write will be about SolidWorks, or partner products, from time to time I've been known to go off on random rants about whatever crosses my mind.
