LetsGoDesign.tv Kicked Into Gear With the ’33 All-Electric Hot-Rod

08 Feb, 2010 by in DESIGN

Well, it’s happened. Someone at SolidWorks had a few too many no-doze with NOS chasers (and I’m almost positive) shot through the Concord office with fire spraying from their back screaming, LET’S GO DESIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGN!!!!!!!!! It was effective.

Starting last week, LetsgoDesign.tv is up and running. There’s not any actual video yet, but the tone is set I tell ya, and the boy droppin’ that tone is SolidWorks own Jeremy Luchini. He’s got the idea that you’ll submit an idea and the community will go through the process of making it happen. Sounds like a great idea to me.

It was kicked of with a related project SolidWorks was a part of late last year. An All-electric ’33 Hot Rod. The SolidWorks World attendees got a chance to kick the tires and have their dreams shattered of not being able to ever drive or own one. I did some diggin’ on the project. Here’s the juice.

Future of SolidWorks. On the Mac, in the Cloud, In Your Face.

01 Feb, 2010 by in NEWS

I seriously do not know where to start after my eyeballs have been water-boarded with sweet, nerd-core tech that was the SolidWorks World Day 1, General Session. With it being the single best session I can remember out of all I’ve been to, there’s plenty to talk about. However, the big news is this… SolidWorks on the Mac. And not only on the Mac… SolidWorks on Linux, Windows, Chrome OS or even Firefox…. but it doesn’t stop there.

31 Jan, 2010 by in NEWS


I’m so close to SolidWorks World 2010, I can almost smell the enormous influx of SolidWorks geekery blanketing the So Cal city of Anaheim over the next week.

This is going to be my 4th SolidWorks World, with an unexplainable gap between thoroughly enjoying the very first SWW out in Palm Springs and the last three in San Diego, Orlando and now, Anaheim.

28 Jan, 2010 by in NEWS

SolidWorks World 2010 is over… I jest, it actually hasn’t started, but a week from now at this time, it will be over and I, along with many others, will be dragging blistered feet from an Anaheim, California hotel bed to shed the light we gleaned from SolidWorks World on our friends, family and supermarket clerks.

SolidWorks 1-upin’s AutoDesk on Conference Keynote. James Cameron Headlining #SWW10

21 Dec, 2009 by in NEWS

Plan on a set of stylish stereoscopic 3D glasses becoming permanently attached to your noggin for the next few years. You’ll have to slip them on for such things as movies, video games, doing the dishes perhaps, oh… and conference keynotes.

Why? A guy who just spent years producing a movie costing $300+ million, which made $232+ million over the past weekend alone, is changing how much 3D inundates every area of our life. That guy is director James Cameron, and SolidWorks just announced him as the SolidWorks World 2010 keynote.

02 Nov, 2009 by in NEWS

I know what you’re thinking. Pretty much anything free these days has something to do with throwing beets. That, or eating them, and who wants to eat beets.

So, this is big news. You can get into SolidWorks World 2010 for free and all it requires is the use of your hands and your wit, not to throw beets at random attendees (although that’s one good idea), but to be the SolidWorks World 2010 Internet Correspondent. No doubt, this will get you and the camcorder in your hand special access to events and people.

Ya got the slightly creative skills to highlight the conference insanity? You have till November 13th. Find out more right here.

The Cheapest Route to SolidWorks World 2010 Is Not on A Pack Mule

06 Aug, 2009 by in NEWS

In fact, you would probably go through a few pack mules depending on the number of intersections you cross and your ability to steer a loaded ass from your hometown. So what’s the cheapest route?

You could actually go for free, but you’ll have to do a presentation, get hired by SolidWorks or get on the press list by writing for a ‘zine or posting pointless articles online. Other than that, here’s how to go about getting to the conference for the cheapest price possible.
