sww09-videosWell, mostly fresh and mostly hot. It’s been a few weeks since SolidWorks World, but that won’t stop you from being able to view, in full virtual glory, all the events caught on video, photo and double-sided sticky tape.

The SolidWorks World 2009 Proceedings site has it all. You’ll be able to see some of the content, but for the premium content, like downloading presentations all you need to do is login to the SolidWorks customer portal. Here’s a note from SolidWorks on accessing the content.

3d-solidworks-blastAre you ready to watch some SolidWorks marketing videos? No? How about some SolidWorks video that show stuff blowin’ up? Yeah, that’s what I’m talkin’ about. Melon and clock parts all over yer face.

I think you’ll enjoy the newest rampage of proof as to why you should use SolidWorks. Oh, the plans to hand out lit SolidWorks-branded M80′s to the kiddos has been scrapped. Instead, really thin balloons that pop almost immediately. SolidWorks Blast to 3D

(I still have no idea why they are not putting these on YouTube or some other video service that allows people to embed the all over the webernet.)

solidworks-smash-up.jpgSo where is everything about the world of SolidWorks being stored out there? It’s not under your patio bench. It’s actually spread out across the entire chasm of the interwebular galaxy and is very difficult to harness at times.

Soooo, here’s a bunch of links that help me find SolidWorks content when I’m trying to find something to share with you all. Some of these I don’t talk much about, like the videos. There’s a bunch of them. And if children laugh at your SolidWorks skills, check some of them out.

Any other resources you use? Let me know and I’ll add it to the list.

News
Google SolidWorks Public – This is my personal SolidWorks Feed you can access anytime. Includes all the feeds from SolidWorks.
Google SolidWorks Blog Public – This is my personal feed for SolidWorks related blogs. Let me know if I’m missing any.
SolidWorks on Technorati – You can also find things through Technorati. This is a “Real-time search for user-generated media” so you can get good stuff and not-so-good stuff.
Google SolidWorks News – With this, you can pick up any news story that has SolidWorks in the content. It’s usually press releases and such, but every once in a while there’s something else.

Video
SolidWorks on YouTube – There’s a lot of SolidWorks video content on YouTube. The quality is not spectacular on all of it but much if it is good enough.
One Minute Tips – You can see this on the SolidWorks Homepage. So far there are 15 videos created by SolidProfessor.
SolidMentor Video Section – A newish section on SolidMentor from some of the best users. There’s about 15 videos on here as well, but the quality is GREAT.
CADJunky – Hosted by SolidWorks but has video with anything related to CAD. It has it’s own video player and is a bit of a mash-up itself that supports video from Youtube and Google. The tips are good but I keep wishing the video quality was better.
