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…

Farewell 2011, Hello 2012
There has been a lot happening this year, this includes a lot of ups and downs. I’m not a big fan of making resolutions, but this year I would definitely like to increase the frequency of posts. The last post was a teaser about an upcoming post about some of the features in the Toolbox…

Toolbox Preview
I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t exactly care for the Toolbox add-in when I started using it in SolidWorks several years ago. There have been several enhancements over the last couple of years that have really changed my views regarding the Toolbox. Within the next week I plan to illustrate some of…

Heroes
“Heroes”, “Idols”, and “people that are admired” all seem to be terms that are somewhat synonymous with each other. The term “hero” seems to be reserved for those that go above and beyond normal expectations. There are a number of people that I believe should get this status almost automatically – parents, those who have…

Happy Birthday
I have several SolidWorks topics in my little notebook that I have been intending to blog about for some time now. There was a great user group meeting last night that deserves a good write up (not to mention the SWUGN Summit and the last user group meeting – both of which have a significant…

Stay tuned, I’m planning on a…

What the ?!?
I know, you’re thinking “what happened?” – here’s the deal . . . The last couple of months were a bit rough. I spent the first week of March in the Intensive Care Unit after a car crash (I talked about this a few posts back.) Two weeks after my accident my wife’s mother passed…

SoidWorks World 2011 – Monday – General Session
Let me start by saying that of all the times that I have been to SolidWorks World, Monday was easily the most memorable. This General Session began differently from all of the others that I have attended – I was asked to arrive early, go to a secured entrance that contained a list of “special guests”, and I…

SolidWorks World 2011 – Sunday
Sunday was relatively open for us to spend some more time exploring San Antonio – nothing on “the schedule” until the early evening Opening Reception at the Partner Pavilion. I wasn’t signed up for any of the certification testing, I was not participating in the alpha testing, and for the first time in several years…
