Cool Site: cadshare.com

I stumbled onto this http://www.cadshare.com site almost by accident... the right-side selection menu that changes when you make selections (be ready to use your BACK button)... but the content is also fairly dynamic, some interesting links provided... almost like a CAD google site.
