BOULDER CREEK, CA April 9, 2004 -– GizmoLab today announced the 1.1 release of its Design Intuition™ computer-aided design software for Apple Macintosh OSX. Design Intuition™ makes it possible for the average craftsperson or independent woodworker to produce construction-quality blueprints in minutes. At the same time it announced a new woodworking contest that gives purchasers of Design Intuition an opportunity to win a free license upgrade.
“Our customers are a vocal lot,” said Jonathon Sand, CEO and Chief Software Architect for GizmoLab. “They not only love Design Intuition, but they routinely come up with great suggestions for improving it. This is all about giving our customers what they need.” GizmoLab’s Design Intuition™ retails for $134.97.
Designed for Simplicity and Immediacy
“Design Intuition™ was created by a professional woodworker for professional woodworkers and craftspeople,” said Michael Knowles, Vice-President of Corporate Communications at GizmoLab. “Jonathon has create a new set of tools and simplified the user interface considerably.”
Fast Design Made Possible with Smart Objects
To simplify and speed up project creation, Design Intuition™ is equipped with a library of Smart Objects. Smart Objects consist of panels, standard lumber pieces, cabinet “carcasses,” and a variety of other items used in woodworking. Users drag Smart Objects from the Smart Objects library and then size them for the project. Smart Objects take the tedium out of design.
GizmoLab adds to the Smart Objects library monthly, often based upon customer requests.
3D Inside and Out
“Draw it once, and you've drawn it in all views. Make an adjustment in one view, and it's made in all views. Isn't that what you'd expect a design program to do?” Sand said. Because Design Intuition uses OpenGL software, users can view their designs in 3D to see what the finished product will look like.
The Design Intuition Contest
“We wanted to give users a chance to show off their woodworking design skills,” Knowles said. “What better way to do that than in a contest format?” Each month, Gizmolabs selects one or more contest winners and awards the winning designer(s) with an upgrade of their existing license by one major version.

September 25, 2004 -- Colonel Josh Poland, on medical leave from Afghanistan, stops a man from mugging diner-owner, Melanie Cooper. Suspecting more behind the attack, the Special Forces officer, decides to dig. He uncovers odd data, nothing conclusive, but if accurate it could add up to an explosion that will kill thousands of veterans during a parade. Josh, Mel, and Detective Buck Carlson, Va.Beach PD, work against time to find proof that terrorists have smuggled in missiles.
Their efforts to stop the attack will keep you guessing until the final page.
Author N.E. Thompson lived and worked in Saudi Arabia during the late '70s and 1980s and knows the Arab mind. In retrospect, she observed the rise of the fundamental sect exporting terrorism today. She gives the reader a vivid glimpse of both good and bad Arabs while challenging her American characters on the precepts of their own Christian faith. A Writer's Digest critique states, "Thompson does a masterful job of drawing believable characters and filling their dialog with personality and verve. A skilled wordsmith, she weaves her Christian themes without artifice."
