It’s Friday, so let’s talk about a happy hour instead of technology.
The Autodesk Foundation threw its annual Hydrous Happy Hour celebration on Thursday, August 16 at the Autodesk Gallery in our downtown office in San Francisco. I was honored to attend last night. We celebrated art, science, and technology for ocean education. It was an evening of virtual reality demos, photography, ocean science, and a silent auction.

The money raised at the happy hour was for a good cause.
