San Diego Work Trip

So, it has been a while since I posted so it's time to play catch up.

January 26^th-30^th I was in San Diego for Solidworks World 2014.  Solidworks is the CAD software that I use at work.  The convention is large, about 6,000 people from all over the world show up.  Most of the convention is training sessions that last all day.  The weather was great and it was a nice break from the cold Minnesota winter that we have been having. 

I did get to see a few cool things while out at the show.

I think that I need this as a new tow vehicle. 

I'm not sure what the point of this was, but it was kind of cool.  Someone would sit in the middle of it and the machine would walk like a spider.

They had the USA bobsled, Night Train 2 on display and they spoke about the design of it. 

We also played hooky one afternoon and headed over to the USS Midway to take in a tour. If you are ever in San Diego, make the time to spend an afternoon on the ship.  There is a lot of cool things to see and you can just wonder and take it all in.  The cool part is that most of the "tour guides" were on the ship at some point in their career.

The sunset was great!
