Dassault buys Matrix: good for them…better for us!
Dassault Buys MatrixOne (by W. Bradley Holtz) Obviously I am a bit late in getting this up on my blog, but here it is nonetheless. I am also a little biased here, but overall I think this is a good thing for the PLM industry and a good thing for UGS, the company I work…

Cool jet…and one of our customers!
Eclipse 500 Personal Jet Now in Production Boy the posts are just flying off today with w.bloggar This might be making it too easy to blog. Anyway, just saw that the Eclipse jet is hitting production. I’m not sure what it is, but 1.3M seems very attainable for a jet. What’s even better is these…

Keeping track
It occurred to me tonight that I have been investing a lot oft time getting myself organized so that I can know what I have going on. From integrating GTD into my personal system, to adopting Mind Manager and OneNote, there are lots of tools and techniques that I have picked up so I can…

Another add to my gadget bag
I just picked up a Logitech Logitech® Cordless Presenter and added it to my gadget bag. It’s a little larger than I thought it would be, but I was looking for a bluetooth mouse for my HP TC1100 and I also needed a wireless presentation system. This is all of that and more, with an…

Another MM plugin for Project Management
I am currently trialing a JCV Gantt Pro which in addition to being a great ink enabled project management tool (in fact I think it is the only ink enabled project management tool) it has great integration with Mind Manager. In the past 4 months Mind Manager has moved to the front and center position…
