I ran into Jorge Lopez while at Autodesk University this year. What a pleasant surprise as I had not seen him in a few years since he left Autodesk.

Jorge has now launched a web site for this tool at www.jrl-e.com . Description from Jorge's web site: "This application is a tool... Read more →

I spoke with Richard Binning at AU last week in the AUGI Playpen area and he showed me his blog. I wanted to announce it right then and there on my blog but his blog may be moving soon to another URL. After more thinking about it I figured what the heck, announce the location he has now and then update it later if and when it moves. Richard is a key AUGI DAUG from Jacksonville Florida and a very... Read more →

Thursday was another great day and evening at AU. I took a bunch of photos throughout the day and night. David Harrington won the AUGI Top DAUG contest. In the evening there was a great evening of entertainment with a great magician and a funny engineering/geek comedian. This comedian was so funny and had the funniest PowerPoint slides and charts. He was the perfect entertainer for a engineering type crowd as he was once a computer chip engineer with AT&T... Read more →

I posted more photos from today to my AU 2004 photo gallery and will add descriptions... Read more →

I gave a presentation on getting involved in Autodesk feedback opportunities in the Inside the Sausage Factory and told those in attendance to simply sign up at http://myfeedback.autodesk.com to...
