After 37 years of using AutoCAD (yes, I’m showing my age, LOL), I still get that childlike excitement when a new AutoCAD release comes out. Even when I had to do network deployments of 25 workstations or more, finding out what was new and how it could improve AutoCAD workflows was always fun. As I […]
2024 was not a good year for me. For those of you who don’t know, my father was involved in a severe car crash in November 2023 while I was at AU2023 in Las Vegas, just before I taught an AutoCAD class that was inspired by his ‘shipshape’ philosophy towards everything in life. In my […]
A good friend, colleague, and mentor of mine recently commented in an email thread that with all the focus on technology, many fail to realise that it is the people who are our most important asset. I could not agree more. With all the AI, machine learning, and automation out there, we still need real […]
Those of us who work in CAD, BIM, and other associated Design & Make industries know the name 3Dconnexion. 3Dconnexion has brought us the SpaceMouse, the CadMouse, and the 3Dconnexion Keyboard. They have kindly sent me one of their latest SpaceMouse iterations, the SpaceMouse® Wireless Bluetooth® Edition, for tech review. I love to review 3Dconnexion […]
imdb.com says Star Wars IV (A New Hope) was released in 1977. I was a mere whippersnapper of eight years old back then, and I remember a group of us were escorted by some of our parents to the Palace cinema in Aldershot, UK, to see what was one of the most iconic movies ever. […]
Another version of AutoCAD has arrived; yes, it has new stuff. Over the decades, AutoCAD has evolved dramatically from the MS-DOS version I started on, with its monochromatic screen, tablet, and puck. It is now a highly capable drafting and modelling application with mobile and web apps. It talks to the cloud and uses machine […]
Yes. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I have been out of the loop for a while. I needed some well-earned downtime not stressing about the next blog post, plus the day-to-day has been mad busy, working for the likes of LinkedIn Learning, Autodesk, and numerous other companies and organisations. I realised that I needed […]
I’m a bit of an Apple aficionado, and I love the Apple ecosystem. I run a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and an iPhone. Some of you may not, and each to their own, but Apple has been my tool of choice for some time now. I also run various pieces of Dell hardware, just for […]
Apologies for the satellite delay. 2023 started a wee bit ‘off’, so I had to take a bit of time out. I am now back in the groove, so here’s the new blog! Community is an interesting word with many definitions and connotations. After being in a new home community, in our new home, for […]
As some of you know, I am a bit of a nerdy geek regarding technology (sometimes known as tech). So, I took a bit of a leap last week, and I’d like to introduce you all to my new friend, Eugene. Eugene is a DJI Mini Pro 3, and I hope he will be the […]
