in Friday Smackdown: It Stings a bit on SolidSmack
Thanks Josh, for the link to the disassembled appliances site. I always thought I was a weirdo (well, actually it has been independently verified) because I'm drawn inexorably to taking things apart to see how they work and what new techniques are people coming up with to save parts and money and make their molds better. It's nice to see that what we do as designers and engineers can be seen as art too. There is a lot of satisfaction that comes from doing something well, whether it's a sculpture or a well-executed assembly!

in Gardening With A 3D Geometric Twist on SolidSmack
I keep hoping that there will be a mashup product that takes advantage of the possibilities.
When I first moved here to Massachusetts (when dirt was still being formed and dinosaurs were bellowing), there wasn't much going on in the landscaping market compared to California. Now folks have realized that one of the easiest ways to add value to a home is with some basic, easily maintained landscaping.
That being said, we would be wise to avoid falling into the "putting green" mentality. A friend from Greece got it right when he mentioned that he just couldn't understand why Americans spent so much time on their lawns and so little time on their families!

My sons (3) are all in college now, so I appreciate being reminded of the joy that parents just have bursting out of them as their children grow before their eyes! It is very good.
That looks like a wicked cool vehicle Sebastian has. Did you make it?

Oh Josh, you really had me going there for a minute! I'm an avid landscaper (purely amateur) and have spent many hours trying to find and then evaluate software products and work flows to get decent 3D plants into my SolidWorks models of my house. I thought you were providing the answer...
There is a big hole there (sorry, I'm also an inveterate punster) for someone to fill. Anybody have a solution, or partial solution, that I've missed?
Thanks anyway for the jolt of almost joy.

in 3 Key Methods to Successful SolidWorks Training on SolidSmack
Al,
Your post is an excellent and well-organized presentation of what options the life-long learner really has. You noted, correctly, that learning is required throughout one's career and that often the learner's needs change quite a bit from one stage to another.
Thank you for putting it all together in one place in such a concise manner.
Well done!
Don
