Think you can be a reporter?
If you think you have what it takes to be an industry reporter, I suggest you head over to the SolidWorks blog and throw your hat in the ring to be the SolidWorks World 2010 Official Internet Correspondent. If you’re looking for a way to get yourself to Ananheim on the cheap, this may be …

SolidWorks Certification – Win one of ten free exams!
Back in January, I put up a post about SolidWorks certification being free and how I thought it cheapened the whole exam. At SolidWorks World, I interviewed Jeremy Luchini and we discussed my thoughts. He explained why they’d made the changes and it seemed reasonable, though I wasn’t fully convinced. About a month ago I …

SolidWorks World 2009 – See what you missed!
The SolidWorks World 2009 Proceedings site is now up and running. You can see pics of SWW, videos of SWW, download podcasts and (drum roll, please) you can even download videos of the breakout sessions! Kind of like being there without all the walking.

Let’s talk about Vuuch
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?).

SolidWorks World 2009 – The Finale
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 that …

SolidWorks World – The Final Day
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 where …

SolidWorks World – The real Day 1
I don’t know that I’ve ever said this, but I truly love being a blogger for SolidWorks. It’s provided me with some wonderful opportunities, both professionally and personally. Take today, for instance. As a blogger, I wasn’t subjected to the cattle-callish nature of trying to get a good seat that so many others are. It’s …
