		<title>SimulationXpress &#8211; You can do it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By a show of hands, how many of you have tried SimulationXpress, or any of the &#8216;Xpress&#8217; products available in SolidWorks? Sure, they&#8217;re meant to be like gateway drugs, tempting and teasing you into purchasing the full-blown product, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that they&#8217;re bad for you.
SimulationXpress is a decent, first-pass, analysis tool. It&#8217;ll let [...]]]></description>

		<title>DriveWorks World 2010 &#8211; The Movie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, that&#8217;s not a misprint. The incredibly intelligent, although slightly whacked, team over at DriveWorks are making a movie. Glen Smith, CEO and co-founder, admitted that the idea came to be whilst indulging in a drink or five one night after work. Once they&#8217;d made the commitment, there was no turning back.
For those of us [...]]]></description>

		<title>SWW 2010 Apology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This goes out to anyone who attended my SolidWorks Crashes &#38; Slowdowns presentation. I&#8217;m sorry. I just watched the video of my presentation and I&#8217;d have to say it was, without a doubt, one of the worst presentations I&#8217;ve ever seen. Even though I was nervous as hell, coupled with the fact that I couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8216;Why&#8217; behind the SWW (not so) special event</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many people, including me, were disappointed with the special event at SolidWorks World this year. It just seemed &#8216;less&#8217; than years past. So, to satisfy my curiosity about the &#8216;why&#8217;, I reached out to Kerri Dunne. For those of you who don&#8217;t know who Kerri is, she&#8217;s the brains behind SolidWorks World. If you want [...]]]></description>

		<title>3DConnexion steps it up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a few days behind on this, but 3DConnexion has improved the driver for their 3D mice (mouses?) by automatically determining the optical center of rotation. I was part of the beta testing of this driver and I really like what they&#8217;ve done. Rather than defaulting to the origin, or having to select a particular [...]]]></description>

		<title>SolidWorks World 2010 – That’s a wrap…dammit!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s like it’s the day after Christmas; all the toys have been played with, food and drink consumed and the relatives have left. Now, I just have this weird empty feeling. Not as bad as losing your best friend, though. Close, but…
As I’ve come to expect, SolidWorks put on a great show. I really liked [...]]]></description>

		<title>SolidWorks World &#8211; February 2, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, what a day it’s been; not that it’s actually over yet. I just returned to my room to relax a little bit before heading over to Jon Hirschtick’s room. He was kind enough to invite the Twitterverse over and I’m not one to turn down such an invitation.
Right now, this is turning out to [...]]]></description>

		<title>SolidWorks World &#8211; First General Session</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, first and foremost, contrary to what Josh may have said via Twitter, I was not taking shots every time &#8216;Cloud&#8217; was mentioned. I just want to get that out of the way.
Now for the good stuff&#8230;
5000+ attendees at SolidWorks world this year. That is an awesome number! A surprising one, too. Given the economy, [...]]]></description>

		<title>SWW 2010 &#8211; Before Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After an uneventful flight on my current favorite airline, Virgin America, I arrived in Anaheim to the welcoming committee that was Alex Ruiz. He&#8217;d run into Mr. Christy Jordan (nee Ricky Jordan) and Rich Hall, so the twosome became a foursome and off we went to the hotel.  (Tangent here &#8211; more swag just came [...]]]></description>

		<title>TGISWWT! (Thank God it&#8217;s SolidWorks World Time!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In just over 24 hours I&#8217;ll be boarding a Virgin American plane (my current favorite airline) for Anaheim, and I can&#8217;t wait. Ever since my first SolidWorks World, way back in 2005, I&#8217;ve been hooked. Each and every one I&#8217;ve been to has been remarkable in one way or another. Aside from the fact that [...]]]></description>
