It really bugs me when I recognize an actor in movies, or TV, and can't place where from. The solution is invariably found on IMDB and their new (for us outside the US) iPhone application makes it easy. Search for titles, cast, crew and more with massive amounts
I should be doing other things but this film, Nature by Numbers by Cristóbal Vila, is a beautiful way to spend a few minutes (watch full screen): http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9953368&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=
It’s the time of year when Autodesk unleash new versions of their applications. I just finished watching a webcast announcing the AutoCAD, AEC, Manufacturing and Visualisation products. “With the release of these powerful applications, the 2011 Autodesk product line is truly the best-in-class,” said Autodesk President and
What’s that, you know, the thing in Excel where you can stop stuff scrolling…? It was Office 2003 so I had to show the Window Menu>Freeze Panes command and explain, demo, how it freezes rows/columns to the left & above the selected cell. That led me

Be sure to register for a webcast with Autodesk CEO Carl Bass and Senior VP Amar Hanspal coming up this week. Last year I had the privilege of seeing a similar event live (a webcast without the web!) and the effort that goes into production was amazing. This year I’

Writing about meeting Greg Arkin at Autodesk University (see BIM Bids Only!) I described his style as “BIM’vangelistic”. It seems some BIM’vangelism, combined with the gift of a domain name, worked for Scott! CADuzer becomes BIMuzer - thanks to Revit3D.com Well, I think my work is done here.
If you're a TypePad blogger and if you see something here you think worth sharing (yes, that is two big IFs!) things just got easier. A new TypePad feature I’m trying has added a Reblog button at the bottom of each post. Click it to launch an
