Something really cool just happened today. I guy I hung out with in Switzerland IM’d me and said, ‘The first 20 shirts are printed and sold!!’ He just had twenty screen-printed shirts made of a design he created and proceeded to sell them all. No big deal right? Well, he’s wanted to do this since I first mentioned it to him…five years ago. I told him how to do it and showed him some stuff in Photoshop. It was nothing you would think much more about or expect to be fruitful with the amount of time spent mentioning an idea in a single phrase. ‘You could…’ How does that open…
I love errors. Those kinds that riddle a FeatureManager Tree with red like the list of a persistent hitman with refined and distinguished taste. Errors can be a disgustingly vicious act and a lovely dinner all tied up together. Errors force a solution Or rather, errors force determining a solution. The hitman’s hitman to keep that cool analogy steaming along. You have to figure out what happened, where it happened and how to prevent or get around it undetected.

I got as far as assuming it was graphical and interface related since Scoble thought so much of Oragami and Vista. I was thinking maybe something with the Flash-like Silverlight product mixed with touch and 3D, but yesterday…
…you could win a SolidWorks compliant video card. CGSociety.com is tempting you to make something more inspirational that a block sitting on a mound of dirt. With some of the submission already, it’s more like a dare for SolidWorks users. Personally, I’m not sure if anyone can do create an architectural marvel in SolidWorks that could rival something created in another program. I hope some one proves me wrong, of course, and waves a brand new nVidia Quaddro FX 5600 in my saddened face. The prizes may get your creative juices flowing: 1st Prize: 2 x NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 cards and 1 week ‘all inclusive’ holiday valued at $10,000…
I would have to say its a bit like being pinned under a horse. At first its all pins and needle, then it starts nipping at you… repeatedly. It’s downright antagonizing, much like these links.
