SolidProfessor 2009 – So Easy a 15 year old gets it

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago (see this post) the fine folks at SolidProfessor hooked me up with their 2009 suite.

My New Gig

Tweet Where this is my personal blog, I figured I’d do a shameless plug for the new company I’m working for. It’s still SolidWorks related as that’s what we, and by ‘we’ I mean me, use here. Ultimate Survival Technologies is a company that produces safety/survival equipment for first responders, the military and outdoorsmen. We [...]

Let’s talk about Vuuch

Tweet Vuuch (pronounced vooch), is a great new tool out there to make collaboration easier. I first heard of Vuuch through Chris Williams via Twitter (you do know what Twitter is, right?). I finally got to meet Chris, and the rest of the Vuuch team, at SolidWorks World 2009 and was immediately impressed with the [...]

Too often I’ve seen "smart" part numbers end up being so convoluted that you need a PhD in cryptography to understand anything. What’s bringing this on? [...]

Jeremy Luchini – Mr. Certification

Whether you’re going for your CSWP, CSWA, CSWI or any other CSW*, Jeremy has had a hand in it. A quick note here: I’m not the world’s [...]

SolidWorks World 2009 – The Finale

Tweet I had planned on telling you about all the new functionality in SolidWorks 2010, but the "new" technology I was using failed me. I had downloaded a voice recorder for my iPhone so I could just record what was said instead of writing notes and the recording is inaudible. No worries though, I know [...]

SolidWorks World – The Final Day

Tweet Wow, I can’t believe it’s day 3. It’s amazing how slowly SolidWorks World comes, compared with how quickly it ends. Now we have to wait almost one more year until SolidWorks World 2010 in Anaheim, California. That’s right, we’re heading back to California. There were a lot of us betting on Las Vegas, especially [...]
