My Top Five Things To Do While Solidworks Is Thinking

by ben kaufman

I don’t know how many of you out there use Solidworks, but it’s a program that allows you to build 3D models. Sometimes it does so quickly, and that’s always good to hope for, but mostly Solidworks decides the rate at which Solidworks wants to work. Unless you want it to crash, you often have to switch to something else for a minute or two while it thinks over whether or not it’s going to do what you requested. My five favorite places to go (in no particular order):

1. http://www.quirky.com – OK, that’s a cop out, but I really do read the comments, I obsessively watch what’s close to its presale threshhold, and I’m starting to leave more comments of my own.
2. http://www.asofterworld.com/
3. http://thereifixedit.com/
4. The Onion horoscope
