2011 Blogging Highlights
Wow, where did 2011 go? It seems like the months flew past like weeks and now its nearly 2012. Time, just, to look back at the past year from a (not just CAD) bloggie perspective: Best Blog Event: Autodesk University is always an awesome event, a chance to meet fellow
Why Alfie sleeps
He's looking a bit weary, and to be truthful so am I, as today's walk turned into a bit of an epic. Approx. 9.8km and 547m elevation change! Started with an easy stroll along Exhibition Drive and its new Beveridge Track Extension. Then thought he
Traffic Light Thoughts
Traffic Light Thought — Waitakere gets binned
This was actually a Doggie Walk Thought but occurred while waiting to cross the road. I watched a Refuse Receptacle Technician carefully installing something near a local bus stop. She’d finished & gone by the time I got across the road but I discovered it was the Auckland Council
Happy Holidays, and a new Blog Banner
One of the stranger aspects of attending Autodesk University, with its early December timing, is seeing the Casino decorations. They deploy most of the traditional Christmas themes without actually mentioning it. Although fabulous the idea of “Christmas” in Vegas, even the “Happy Holidays” version, seems rather strange given it’s
Traffic Light Thought — 16 km/h, not 17, not 15?

Autodesk University 2011 Day 3 – The art inside design #AU2011
My Day 3 began with a session by Autodesk’s Guillermo Melantoni’s. “Show Me the Money: Impress Your Customers with Great Presentations“ was a great introduction to applying Autodesk Showcase to AEC presentation. As I own/use a Building Design Suite with Showcase it was very relevant as I’
Autodesk University 2011 Day 2 – Astounding Mix #AU2011
Part of the morning was spent on some secret stuff which will have to wait for a future post. It was also my first chance to take a good look around the exhibit hall. The Autodesk Gallery had an awesome display. I was impressed Carl Bass (right) was present whenever
Autodesk University 2011 Day 1 – Innovation explosion #AU2011
AU 2011 was a total mind blowing overload of fun, meetings and intellectual challenges. Add to that a few kilometres walking each day, the dehydrating low humidity of the Vegas atmosphere plus a bit of jetlag made it physically challenging as well (or I’m getting old!). I’m going

Autodesk University 2011 Day 0 – The Media Day #AU2011
The “day before Day One” kicked off with a media session packed with information. I’ll post in more detail when time allows but an overview will give some impression of the material covered: * Chris Bradshaw (SVP and Chief Marketing Officer) covered Autodesk’s approach to traditional markets and the
