This will be very cool!

A little off topic...have you ever used Google Earth with your SpaceMouse? Turn on the "Terrain" layer and fly like Superman through the Grand Canyon!

So far nothing but "thumbs up for me!" The flyouts work so much better!

Lost some of my favorite extensions though. I hope they get upgraded soon.

Did you do an COSMOS analysis on the doily once you were finished?

Duuuude! Nice one!

I've also had this happen when I print! Rebooting the printer usually helps. Printers is so stooopid.

>Can you put this hat on and say, ‘where’s my juice?’

I gotta ask...where did THIS come from?

Re: FaceBook Connect… Cause SolidSmack Loves You and Your Comments

Facebook needs a way to have a professional side and a personal side.

There are pictures of me out there that I would want my co-workers to have easy access to...and if my friends and neighbors saw just the professional side of me, they would think I am even more boring than I really am!

Bottom line, as it is now I don't want my professional world knowing of my Facebook page. :)

Re: Your Future 3D CAD Interface May be Soft, Cozy Memory Foam

...but it is still 2D-ish! So they need to put those sensors in clay, so I can hold it....

Imagine a hybrid system, you still have a keyboard, mouse & monitor for some of the easier inputs, as you model, your clay updates too. You could change the model via keyboard or clay input. Update a dimension, the clay gets bigger, pinch the clay and your model updates on the screen....

In the episode, where it is Stephen's birthday, and Stephen is blaming Kish for taking a bite of the cupcake...did you notice if you look closely you can see some blue icing on the side of Kish's face?

Re: The “S” Key Experiment Part 1

Jeff Sweeney — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:35:18 -0000

Add the extrudes to your "S" key tool bar when in sketch mode. This would save you some clicks because you wouldn't have to leave the sketch.

I figure to stop in and say hi. I am looking forward to the CSWP event, building the roller coaster thingies. Who can go wrong there?

I am presenting Monday morning, a very good thing -so I can get it over with, then enjoy the rest of the show.

My favorite part of SWW is always the last day when they preview what may go into the next release of SW. THAT'S my Christmas morning!

Re: Dynamic Mirror

Do you like this function? I have never seen any value with it. It seems much more efficient getting one side the way you want it -then mirror.
*I do like it, in certain instances. Sometimes it's easier to see the whole versus just the half.*
