Party People in the House, EvD Media is Officially Official
Like Adam OHern, I am very excited to announce that EvD Media is officially official. This joint effort between solidsmack, cadjunkie and engineer vs designer is bringing all the goodness of the design process to you in three glorious halves… err, sites.
SolidSmack V3: Fresh Pot of Awesome, iPod Winner
and More in Store
The time has come. Like hot flaming liquid poured straight into a web server, pounded with a hambone made of lightning and set on the table for everyone to partake… the new SolidSmack site is LIVE. It’s about time also, the old site was kinda shiny lookin’ but had the content kickin’ factor of wadded cat hair. But enough about the past. It’s all about the future and where SolidSmack goes from here. You, of course, are a big part of that. The feedback on the survey was overwhelming and will form rubbery mold we shove the future of SolidSmack into. We’ve got a winner to announce from the survey and a little more to tell you about… a design contest in fact. Here we go!
The New Freagin’ Cool SolidSmack Logo and Stuff
Ahhgg!! the AGONY. It’s like I’ve been wearing the same pair or socks on my eyes for the past few years. The SolidSmack Logo, the fanciful one with three cubulars in the site header, yeah, that thing… is getting kicked to the far reaches of space.
We’re coming upon a new year, and what better way to sport a new look… but that’s not all. SolidSmack.com is undergoing a revamp. First thing to deal with though, is the lo-go. So, without further ado, here. it. is.
Siemens Slams SolidSmack with Questions. This is What I Said.
A couple months ago I went to Siemens PLMConx Event. It was a magical time filled with magical talk about PLM, Solid Edge, NX, curling irons, highlight techniques and ways to deal with split ends… I may be getting two events mixed up, but whatever the case, Mrs. Dora Smith was on the hunt to get a video interview with me.
I cleverly (unknowingly) evaded such an activity by diving behind people larger than myself. I could not, however, avoid questions via email.
So, if you’re interested in the slightest about why I blog, what’s open on my desktop or what really happens at these events, give it a read. You can hammer the Q&A goodness into your oculars at the Siemens PLM Blog. Oh, by the way, Dora asks several questions about Twitter. If you’re interested, you can follow me @solidsmack.
Ask the Reader: What topics about 3D and Design interest you the most?
Well now, I hear some of you are in the mood for a really broad question with a very broad and generalized set of choices. EXCELLENT, I say! We’ve got just the question.
Today, we’re wondering what topics about 3D, design and any combination of the two, interest you the most. Why? Because there’s an anxious group of senior citizens waiting to take the results and make craft and quilt blocks from them! How fun is that!? In addition, we’re prepping to connect more content, but it totally depends on your choices, so…

Did I miss something?? Let me know and I’ll add it! THE MORE, THE BETTER. So, wheel grams over to the computer and help her make a choice!
