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.
