end of the year wrap up

Just wanted to post a few things while I had a chance:

• Autodesk 3december- This year was the first time I helped organize the event, in years past I have been MC or MC and presenter at the Austin 2008 3December event but this year I got more invovled and it turned out to be a great event. A big thanks to all the guest speakers and the local studios that let their artists come out during the middle of the afternoon, you all made it a great show.
• Math- I am starting over and trying to learn to like it instead of fighting it, it is every where, I use it all the time and the man made world we live in would not exist with out it so I am working on it.
• Tools- there are a few new websites out there besides all the great Google tools that I am really liking, one of them is the adobe site..http://www.adobe.com/acom/ The screeen sharing tool and meeting rooms along with file storage are great and have been a very powerfull and usefull tool for working with remote artists and programers on all kinds of things. I still really like JING also for quick shareing of videos and images, great for support or comunication of ideas.
  
• If you read one Blog- or two - there are lots of sites that are intresting to read but few offer so much quality content, one is http://www.37signals.com/svn/ , they make great software and they are a very open company based on sharing and they have great posts. The other is http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/ Tim Ferriss blog , for people that are wanting to win the war over personal time and living a life that is full or learning ways to change something about your self , he is a life hacker and the blog is great.
