AU 2003 update

It was a very eventful Monday night here at Autodesk University in Las Vegas. I attended many different meetings and even had some informal discussions with some CAD press. I also found out that the professional skateboard legend Tony Hawk is here although when I asked his people that he come down to the lounge, he chickened out. I will be posting some photos from yesterday and today later on. Cheers, -Shaan Read more →
