A fun and funny video created by Tech3D walking through most of our Autodesk applications, but not all. Fitting video walkthrough commentary since in just over a week, on January 30th, 2022, it is Autodesk's 40th birthday/anniversary. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF7zEkelSRiHB1rOnspaBgQ “Autodesk have a massive collection of software products, the descriptions are hard to understand and often intentionally vague.

Challenging Week

People that know me or read my blog know that I try to be transparent on everyone, an oversharer perhaps.Today was supposed to be orthoscopic surgery on my left knee for a minor tear in my meniscus but I tested positive for Covid on Tuesday. I didn't have symptoms on Tuesday, but I did on Wednesday and I would say it has been minor to medium symptoms low energy, of fever, aches, headache, brain fog, sore throat, and coughing.

My Autodesk 24th Anniversary is Today

I joined Autodesk, January 19, 1998 expecting to be here perhaps a couple years improving the products I used as a customer and then get back to designing large steel process equipment and other large design and fabrication projects.

My daughter knows... Read more →

Farewell To Dr. Richard Leakey

The world lost a tough impactful warrior this a week, Dr. Richard Leakey. Without Richard Leakey who was a world renowned paleontologist turned conservationist, there may not have have been a science rich research work, or perhaps a single living elephant or rhino remaining in Kenya. And we certainly wouldn't have had my friend, another world renowned paleontologist and anthropologist as well as Autodesk university speaker, Dr. Louise Leakey. Statement from the Leakey family I am grateful to have met... Read more →

Happy 2022

Happy New Year, everyone! I had a nice two-week annual holiday break and spent time with friends and doing several outdoor adventures. I have family visiting (hopefully depending on airline flights) later this week including my two sons, mother, and brother. The past year 2021 had some high points, but a lot of tough challenging parts and I am optimistic and working for a much better 2022. Here is to hoping for a better year for everyone and hoping I...
