		<title>Firefox for life&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is Chrome cool? Does it looks slick? yes. Is it owned by big bad Google? yes. All of the above is true, but I love firefox. I love Mozilla. I love what they are about. I love that I went to their site tonight and noticed they have 127M+ downloads for firefox 3.6. That&#8217;s alot [...]]]></description>

		<title>World Cup: You either get it or you don&#8217;t!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The World Cup has been underway for the last few days. It is one of the most anticipated sporting events across the world. It is one of the few events that brings people together to show pride of their heritage. I find it fascinating to watch people from all over converging to support their team [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autodesk is taking the cloud by storm&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seems like that &#8220;c&#8221; word isn&#8217;t going away and I couldn&#8217;t be happier. I had the pleasure of seeing what Autodesk has coming in the near future. Two specific projects- Cumulus and Centaur. Both are cloud-powered simulation offerings. Leveraging the client driven interfaces of Moldflow Insight and Inventor respectively. Project Centaur is a simple structural [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why simulation (FEA/CFD) is being slowly adopted&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you ask 100 engineering organizations if and how they use simulation, you will get 101 answers. If you ask those that don&#8217;t use it, you will get 102 reasons why not. Seems odd that something that seems so closely tied to saving time, money and has the potential to create better products has such [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autodesk bridging the gap between art &amp; engineering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been intrigued by the artistic side of engineering. You know, the guys that bring the look and feel and beauty to the design environment. This can be anything from a cool coffee maker to the complex surfaces of a race car. There are a variety of tools on the market that designers use [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 reasons why CFdesign is the like the iPad of the CAE industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wondering how tired people are getting hearing about the iPad hype? There are certainly those out there that clearly don’t get it. Not only do they not get it now, you could plop an iPad right in front of them and show them in its utter glory and they still wouldn’t get it. But there [...]]]></description>

		<title>My $0.02 on the #ipad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been poking fun at the good ole ipad for the last few months on twitter, etc.. It is so easy to poke fun at appleheads as they are for the most part, &#8220;sheep&#8221;. Just going along with the insanity because their friends are doing it. Don&#8217;t believe me, go to an apple store [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inventor 2011 &amp; Fusion take digital prototyping to the next level</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seems like forever waiting for Inventor 2011 to be released. I have been running the BETA for literally a few months, I actually forgot that it was BETA. Quite a few tweaks to the Inventor interface and workflow, adding to an already solid &#8211; solid modeler. The feature I found most interesting, was including a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solid Edge Simulation is the real deal!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I procrastinate, sometimes I don&#8217;t. About a year ago, I attended PLM World and was introduced all that is Siemens. I have to admit, for a guy used to bopping around in flip-flops and shorts with his ipod blaring, I was a bit taken back by the Siemens attendees. A much more formal group, [...]]]></description>
