Lou Gallo of SolidWorks Heard (twitter) has apparently recorded a recent phone conversation between us and has put it up online so that all my glean my mildly incoherent ramblings.
I told my friend Alex Ruiz that my voice sounds like a conversation between Kermit the frog and miss piggy, but in actually, it sounds more like I’m tired and have a deviated septum. Of course, we’re all critics of ourselves and I’m one of the worst.
I wish Lou and I had more time to talk about the future of CAD stuff. I’m interested in how CAD is developing in context of web technology changing the way 3D applications are used. I’ll get into that later in some highly-interesting and somewhat speculative articles that will not be boring unless you just absolutely hate that kind of stuff.
In the meantime, listen to the podcast (Episode 161) and tell me what I need to do to improve my interviewing skills. So far, I’m at… 1) don’t walk while talking so you don’t sound like you’re out of breathe and 2) get some sleep the night before.

You may start to see some changes around the trusty ol’ SolidSmack site. For one, I’ve integrated the Disqus commenting system into the site. Sound fancy? It is, and it’s got some cool features that will make commenting 100% more fun than before.
I’m using the Disqus commenting system for a few reasons, but mostly because I think you’ll get the most value out of it and make the conversations even more meaningful, and who doesn’t want a meaningful conversation, huh?
Features include:
- threaded comments
- email & mobile posting
- track and subscribe to comments
- comment ratings
- comment flagging
- export your comments
- and video commenting
I’m using a the Disqus Wordpress plugin that was super easy to install. I had everything configured and was up and running in about 5 minutes. You’ll see the comments on old post with no comments as well as new posts (like this one).
You have the option of creating a user profile or commenting unverified. If you do create a Disqus profile you get to show off a photo in your comment and join in on the social network features and really, just enjoy it all a whole lot more. Here’s my Disqus profile.
So go ahead and test it out by leaving a comment below. Let me know what you think and if any features need to be added. Thanks!

SolidSmack has been around for just over a year and I’m lovin’ every bit of every juicy 3D/Tech/Design/SolidWorks Tip post I put up, but last night in the wee hours of a foggy night I wondered, “What the heck do all the wonderful people that visit SolidSmack like (not like) about the site?”
So, the fate of SolidSmack lies in the click of your mouse button, any comments you want to add, and my ability to totally ignore anything bad you say about me or the site.
I hope you have fun and I hope you provide some really detailed ideas or offer me money to stop blogging and finish my home renovation. Oh, I’ll still be your friend even if you say something mean. 
What would you like to see on SolidSmack?

Well everyone, look at that. We have completely plundered the riches of the web and have a big ol’ bag of incredibly useful tips and information. SolidSmack.com is officially one year old today. (See first post here.)
You all are completely incredible and make this so much fun, I can’t even explain it. I seriously can not believe all the people (and characters) I’ve meet the past year. So spin in a circle, pat your back and yell SolidSmack real loud to celebrate the joy.
Shouts out to the other bloggers, SolidWorks, and especially to the ones that throw down in the comments.
What’s coming up this year?
More wonderful posts, but I want to hear from you. What do you want to see more of? less of? What do you like the most? least?
As many have speculated, a new version of SolidSmack is launching soon and I want to make it as useful for you as possible with content you find interesting. So let me know!
Stats for the past year

You can now find me on Twitter. As an added bonus when you follow me you will get some great SolidWorks tips and have the opportunity to win some cool stuff, the first of which will be coming up soon.
What’s Twitter?
It’s like a mix of IM and blogging. Some call it micro-blogging. It’s one of the best things I’ve used to share things quickly. There are a number of other social sites I’m on that I’ll share soon, but I’ll be using this quite often to get news and thoughts out quick and give away free stuff.
If you’re signed up, just go to http://twitter.com/solidsmack and follow me! See ya there.
