Tweet I’m sitting at gate C9 at Seattle-Tacoma international airport waiting to board my red-eye flight to Orlando, and the magical time that is SolidWorks WorldThis yearbit more special for two reasons. One, I missed last year due to family reasons. Two, is a personal, but highly important reason. Important enough that I brought a [...]
Tweet While he never mentioned anything about Vegemite sandwiches, there’s no doubting Michale Lord’s roots. He was born in Fairfield, New South Whales, Australia, a suburb of Sydney, so one can only assume that said sandwiches are part of his daily caloric intake. I mean it’s either Vegemite or shrimp on the barbie in Australia, [...]
If you were to close your eyes and imagine what the stereotypical New Englander sounds like, there’s a good chance you’d hear a voice similar to Joy Garon’s.
Tweet Another SolidWorks employee that got to suffer through my attempt at being a journalist at SolidWorks World 2011 was Rick Chin, Director of Product Innovation. A Mechanical Engineer by education, Rick is another shining star in the SolidWorks Universe. He holds no less than five patents, has worked for McDonnell Douglas and Pratt & [...]
Tweet During SolidWorks World 2011, I sat down with Asheen Phansey, Sustainability Product Manager of SolidWorks, to find out a bit more about him and what drives him.

They come from all over the world to gorge themselves on each other’s knowledge of SolidWorks. To the uninitiated, the sight of thousands [...]
Tweet 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 [...]
Tweet Wow, what a day its been; not that its 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 Im not one to turn down such an invitation. Right now, this is turning [...]
Tweet That’s right, SolidWorks World 2010 is right around the corner. Like so many other SolidWorks addicts, I can’t wait! Thousands of SolidWorks users from around the world all converging upon hapless Anaheim for an orgy of learning, networking and, yes, partying. This year marks a milestone for me, too. It will be my first [...]
