SolidWorks World 2008 – A Look Back
SolidWorks World 2008 was a big one for us at the VAR – most of the Application Engineers (AE) were able to make the trip to San Diego! These are the people that I corresponded with on a daily basis, but they are hundreds of miles away, and now we would all be in one…

A Short “Break” . . .
I had really hoped to keep churning out the “Look Back at SolidWorks World” posts, but things got a little bit busy in December. I’ll get into this more later, but we’ll just say that it was probably my busiest month of the year. Here is a teaser shot of how I started the month – And…

SolidWorks World 2007 – A Look Back
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! After attending SolidWorks World 2006 in Las Vegas, I knew that I wanted to do it all again the next year. There was a lot going on in my life leading up to SolidWorks World 2007 . . . I revived the local User Group, renamed it “SolidWorks User Group of Nebraska”…

SolidWorks World 2006 – A Look Back
They often say that there is nothing like the first time. When it comes to SolidWorks World this was definitely true . . . Flashback to 2002-2003 I was working for a company that had just purchased SolidWorks. Having already used several other programs, this was a truly refreshing change, and I never looked…

Coming up – A look back on SolidWorks World
We are now about 70 days away from SolidWorks World 2016 in Dallas, TX. I thought that this would be a good time to recap some of my favorite experiences from SolidWorks World. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll post updates looking back on past conferences. If all goes well, I should be able…

Too many irons in the fire . . .
I jumped on to the blog the other day, and noticed that I have not made an update since January of 2013! This was more than a little bit disheartening, as my plan was to make regular updates. It is time to try to make that change. So, what’s been keeping me so busy for…

SolidWorks World – Day 0 – Part 2
Was not able to start the update last nifty (due to having a little too much fun at the opening reception – really, really tired from all the standing and walking.). I started writing the blog entry really early this morning, but wasn’t able to finish before heading out for General Session this morning. Decided…

SolidWorks World 2013 – Day 0 – Part 1
There isn’t a whole lot to say about Sunday yet, because it’s still “what are you doing awake at this hour” o’clock. SolidWorks World is really beginning to feel a lot like “old home week” or a “friend reunion.” Jade and I actually arrived yesterday so that we could do some exploring and be here…

Remembering Wayne Tiffany
It has been quite a while since my last post, and I really wish that this one was full of boring SolidWorks tips and tricks. This morning I found out that Wayne Tiffany had passed away during the weekend after a fight with cancer. Those of you who are active in the SolidWorks community should…

Alive Day
So, what exactly is “Alive Day”? This is the commemoration of an event could have easily ended your life, but it didn’t. (My sister-in-law calls it “Beat the Grim Reaper Day” – Hers is February 17th.) My “Alive Day” is February 28th. On that day last year I was in the wrong place at the…
