The content of this site are my own personal opinions and do not represent my employer's view in anyway. In addition, my thoughts and opinions often change, and as a weblog is intended to provide a semi-permanent point in time snapshot you should not consider out of date posts to reflect my current thoughts and opinions.

Blogs (short for "weblogs") date back to the beginning of the web.

While not everything is the official Autodesk opinion, endorsement, or recommendation, it is a blog from an Autodesk employee. This approach provides direct contact between customers and Autodesk personnel most familiar with our products. It is one effect method in breaking down the wall that separates customers from those in Autodesk. I think the visitors get the feeling of content that may be more informal and timely. You never really know what I will post up here and that adds to some of the draw in my opinion.

Our customers enjoy seeing more of a face to those here at Autodesk. At Autodesk we develop products that many of these customers use daily for many hours. In much of the information they see from Autodesk there may not really be a personal view, insight or connection. I also try to point out potential new trends in technology such as the new TabletPC and what that can mean to you in the field when you want to view or mark up drawings easily.

Autodesk already has some very great marketing and tips and tutorial content on the web and in print, so I am not out to mimic that but add quick bit size nuggets of information that may interest them in our products as well as technology or resources.

About Me:
Well known as a public Autodesk figure in user group meetings, the Autodesk discussion groups, and his web log “blog” Between the Lines (blogs.autodesk.com) Shaan has worked for Autodesk for over 10 years. Currently Shaan is a Technical Marketing Manager for the Platform Technologies Division which includes the world famous AutoCAD product. In addition Shaan is the Worldwide MyFeedback Program Manager for all Autodesk products and betas at http://myfeedback.autodesk.com. As an avid Autodesk software user since 1989 Shaan is a current user of AutoCAD, Autodesk Viz, Autodesk Inventor, DWF, Autodesk Viz, and Autodesk 3ds Max. He used some of these products as a customer prior to joining Autodesk in 1998. He was previously a mechanical designer involved in various large projects. Some of the design and construction projects in his past are AISC major steel bridges, hydroelectric, structural steel, process piping, large heat exchangers and ASME pressure vessels. Shaan was featured as a "bleeding edge" customer during the AutoCAD R14 Design Your World Live broadcast in May 1997, and also included on the AutoCAD R14 demo CD-ROM.

Shaan considers himself to be a product user and customer evangelist first, and an Autodesk employee second.
