Brief Note

...just to let you know I am still active and to report that the Overture project is at another milepost.  The design is complete and files are being prepared for delivery to cutting shops that might be able to supply the pre-cut parts.

First Snow

We have survived the season's first snowfall here on Duluth's Skyline Parkway.  It reminds me that time is marching along and I feel the urgency to start building a boat.

I attended a presentation at the Minnesota SolidWorks users meeting last week by SW co-founder Jon Hirschtick. He's looking hard at the whole cloud computing thing.

SolidWorks is the design and engineering tool I am using to create my products.  I also have been reviewing Rhino (with Orca) and MiltiSurf/SurfaceWorks for their boat-design-specific features.  All good stuff but also expensive (for getting started).  I really like the structure of Multisurf.
