20+ Years of Design, Technology & More
This week I am capturing several objects in 3D including the world famous Delicate Arch located in Arches National Park in SE Utah. Tomorrow two FARO employees and myself will be hiking up to the Delicate Arch with a 3D laser scanner to capture the Delicate Arch in a 3D point cloud.
Last Thursday February 24th 2011 I had the rare opportunity to attend the final launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery STS-133. I witnessed the launch or experienced it which is more accurate from only 2.9 miles away at the press…
This week I will be in Florida on vacation for the final launch of Space Shuttle Discovery STS-133 on Thursday February 24th, 2011 at 4:40pm EST. I will be tweeting and posting photos from the launch pad 39A during the Rotating Service Structure retraction Wednesday night and the live launch from the turning basin location at Kennedy Space Center. Look for me near the famous countdown clock in any broadcasts of the launch including NASA TV Watch NASA TV.
I recently learned of a business where it shares equipment to design and build projects for a membership. Friday I paid a visit to one of their newest locations in San Francisco, in fact the paint was still drying on the front entrance. I am confident not everyone has a full welding shop, machine shop, electrical design workbench, wood shop, textile equipment, 3D scanning, 3D printing, high end computers and classrooms loaded with the latest and greatest software such as AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor and more at their house. For those without access to all the equipment to design and build whatever your heart desires, TechShop is the solution you have been looking for. You can let your inner "Maker" out.

Tumblr is like a mini blog you can easily update from your mobile devices. It is more than Twitter, but less than a blog, Facebook, or a website. I will be using Tumblr as another outlet for photos and info for Autodesk University.

I was traveling this week for presentations on AutoCAD for Mac and stopped in the Boston Apple store. I got the Apple employees to laugh by starting an old joke with a new Apple twist “A duck walks into a Genius Bar…”
Lynn Allen has a pet goat named “Leno. Since I had the special opportunity to visit with Jay Leno last weekend in Burbank California, I asked him to autograph the photo of Lynn’s goat named “leno”. I just did not mention to Jay that she also has a goat named “Conan”.
Australian Bill Adams (http://blads.blogspot.com/) and @blads on Twitter wished this Between the Lines blog a happy 7th year in a most remarkable way. He recreated my Canon 5D camera in chocolate.
