My Star Wars Lego Dark Falcon (a derivative of the Millenium Falcon) has pride of place in The Workshop (my office) on its Wicked Bricks display stand. As those of you know me well, I love my Lego, and I am a big Star Wars fan. Well, as of now, I am a big HP […]
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 […]
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. […]

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 […]

It made for some incredible reading, and that, combined with the data in the report, describes exactly where we are at with Design & Make in the world right now. One of my fellow Autodesk Community Voices authors, Shelby L. Smith, wrote a blog […]
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 […]
No, I’m not talking a foreign language here. I am both Autodesk ACI accredited and a member of the Autodesk EE program. It’s a privilege to be involved with both of these Autodesk programs, and having been involved for many years now, I just wanted to explain what both programs are, and how honoured I […]
