We had to wait on the runway for about an hour because of high winds and the ride was a little bumpy for a while but the 65 and sunny weather here in Anaheim is so much nicer than the 5 degrees and snow I left at home. 🙂  It’s Friday afternoon and I just had lunch with Randall Bock.  Randall leads the Happy Valley SolidWorks User Group.  I found him exploring outside the convention center.   The conference doesn’t offically start until Sunday evening with the partner reception but I came in a couple days early for some SolidWorks 2011 alpha testing.  I’m excited to see what’s been done with PhotoView 360 since the 2011 release is when it will fully replace PhotoWorks.

Stay tuned.  I’ll be reporting on the conference happenings as time permits.  I also have an interview lined up with Ron Bates.  Ron is the Manager of Graphical Applications at SolidWorks.  I’m hoping he can share some information with us about PV360 2011.  I’ll be at the Luxology press event as well where I have the feeling some interesting announcements will be made about Modo.

If you’re attending World this year hurry up and arrive.  I’m here and I’m ready to get this thing started! 🙂
