Thanks for confirming all this yourself. What an amazing time I bet and it's just plain cool what each hand eventually turned into and man, getting to meet all the people you have, users to celebrities. fun stuff. Thanks for sharing! and I'll keep my 3D job at least until I get some pointers from you :) Hi Jon! Thanks for confirming all this yourself.

And it is true that I financed my first year working on SolidWorks through money I had saved from my blackjack days. I would NOT say that SolidWorks was conceived in Vegas though. 21 is a fun movie, fun for us and fun for the average person. The movie characters, while not corresponding exactly to real people on our team, and the core storyline are reasonably accurate with just a bit of Hollywood-ism. However many of the events are 100% fiction. I did get a chance to meet Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, etc. Photos here: http://www.beaupre.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/3/28/SolidWorks-founder-and-21. Happy to provide more detail next time I see you all. Josh: don't you give up your 3D life for the pro card counting journey! I did play on the MIT blackjack team.
