Have a good one, everyone! If you’re looking for something to amuse you this Christmas Eve, check out the FAIL Blog. A few of the posts look fake, but I went back over 20 pages and found something funny on each one. Thanks to Doug B. for the pointer!  24 December 2008, 9:37 pm |  One comment | Tags: Christmas, Fail, Other Blogs | Category: Fun, Other Blogs I’ve mentioned before that I love the Photoshop Disasters blog, and I’ve also mentioned that Clark Rubber has provided me with great service. Here’s the first of a few posts that combine the two. I recently received a Clark Rubber brochure, and from the look of it (and the web site), Clark Rubber is [...] 11 December 2008, 1:42 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Advertising, Clark Rubber, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures | Category: Advertising, Customer Service, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures It seems that not only EULAs but also web sites must have onerous, unconscionable, ridiculously restrictive and utterly unenforceable sets of rules these days. I don’t want to miss out on the fun, so I have added mine to this site. There’s a link at the top of the page that points here: http://www.blog.cadnauseam.com/terms-of-use/ [...] 26 November 2008, 8:57 pm |  4 comments | Tags: Fun, Legal, Other Blogs, Terms of Use | Category: Announcement, Fun, Legal, Other Blogs, Web Stuff I love this blog: http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/ OK, some of the “disasters” are a bit nitpicking, but there are some truly awful image manipulation efforts out there, some associated with very big companies. Look back over the archives, there are some real classics. Lesson to large companies: don’t penny-pinch, it’s not worth it. I can’t remember [...] 15 November 2008, 9:05 am | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs | Category: Advertising, Autodesk, Bentley, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures Congratulations to well-known AUGI identities and AutoCAD bloggers Mike and Melanie Perry on the new release of their genetic material, Declan Glen Perry. Specifications: 7lbs 12oz (3.515 kg), 21″ (533 mm). Well done both! 5 November 2008, 6:43 pm | 2 comments | Tags: Births, Melanie Perry, Mike Perry, Other Blogs | Category: Announcement, Other Blogs Shaan Hurley says he feels a “Lost in Translation” moment coming on. Perhaps this story will do? (Slightly geeky fun from Wales, safe for work). Kirill Grouchnikov is a developer who has a blog called Pushing Pixels. This wouldn’t normally be of particular interest to AutoCAD users, but he recently wrote a piece describing the AutoCAD 2009 Ribbon. It is always interesting to things described from a different perspective, in this case the Ribbon from a non-user’s point of [...] 30 October 2008, 2:41 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2009, Other Blogs, Ribbon, User Interface | Category: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2009, Microsoft, Other Blogs I have been thoroughly enjoying Kean Walmsley’s interview of Autodesk co-founder John Walker, which he has now finished. Kean’s link to part 4 is currently broken (edit: now fixed) and that broken link has been picked up by others (edit: also fixed in Between The Lines), so here are the correct links: Part 1, [...] 4 October 2008, 9:22 pm | One comment | Tags: Autodesk, Honesty, Interview, John Walker, Kean Walmsley, Other Blogs | Category: Autodesk, Interview, Other Blogs, Thoughts, Web Stuff If you haven’t found the Dear Adobe gripe site yet, have a look. Some of the comments are moronic, most are strongly worded, some are sarcastic, and some are just precious. How has Adobe reacted to being publicly blasted like this? Very well. Read what John Nack, Adobe’s Photoshop Principal Product Manager, has to [...] 16 September 2008, 11:36 am | 2 comments | Tags: Autodesk, Dear Adobe, Dear Autodesk, Feedback, Other Blogs, Other Products | Category: Autodesk, Fun, Other Blogs, Rant Thanks to Shaan Hurley for revealing to the wider world the existence of Ribbon Man Matt Stein’s blog. I’m not sure it’s appropriate for a blogging n00b like myself to welcome somebody with a blog four years older than his own, but I’m going to do it anyway. Welcome, Matt (no pun intended). Some [...] 1 September 2008, 3:34 pm | One comment | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2009, Autodesk, CAD Blogs, Marketing, Matt Stein, Microsoft, Other Blogs, Ribbon, Vista | Category: Advertising, AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2009, Autodesk, Microsoft, Other Blogs, Thoughts As a “grammar Nazi”, I must say I “love” this “blog”. http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/ 10 March 2008, 12:39 pm | 2 comments | Tags: Fun, Grammar, Other Blogs | Category: Fun, Grammar, Other Blogs |

I haven’t seen AutoCAD 2010…
…yet.
That means I’m free to speculate about it in public. There have already been a few hints dropped here and there. Stronger 3D, parametric 3D? Does that just mean adding the missing 3rd dimension to dynamic blocks, or more? What else?
If you’re in the right spot at the right time at Autodesk [...]
