Free is good
Probably my favorite word in the whole English language, especially when followed by other words like donuts, beer, and software! Well, I haven't found free donuts or beer today, but I did find a site to share for free software...www.freecad.com. There are CAD, CAE and EDA programs, other good software like file management (one look at my desk and you know I need lots of help here!), software to get you instant quotes on build-to-order items, even Macintosh CAD software for those of you who just can't give up your Macs!

Hey pal, let's keep the lines of communication open here...got some sites ya wanna share? Then drop me a quick note at asktheexpert@reedbusiness.com. Can't promise I'll reply, but like all famous people, I do read all my mail.

Just for engineers
I've been googling the Internet looking for blogs for design and mechanical engineers. My findings? EL ZILCHO! So what the hey, I decided to start my own. So here it is...I'm going to be sharing what I've found online, maybe some fun sites that have come my way, and do a little shameless self promotion (like check out my game -- the Ultimate Engineer Challenge at www.designnews.com!)

Hey, gotta get back to work, but I'll try to drop a note to this site everyday!
