I just broke into CS3 today. One of the first things I noticed was the icons used for the various elements of the suite. Here’s what I see in my Dock on Mac OSX:

From left to right, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, (what was previously Macromedia) Dreamweaver, (what was previously Macromedia) Flash, and Adobe Acrobat. All in one tightly integrated package since the acquisition. Dancin’!

Love the periodic table metaphor. Of elements. Get it?

Seems Acrobat got left out of that round table meeting up at Adobe.

My life over the course of the next few weeks promises to be a cross between a kid breaking in his new toys on Christmas morning and a beta tester trying out the new features of his favorite applications. Stay tuned.

European astronomers have spotted what they say is the most Earth-like planet yet outside our solar system, with balmy temperatures that could support water and, potentially, life.

Uh-oh.

“All arts, big and small, are the elimination of waste motion in favor of concise declaration. The artist learns what to leave out. The surgeon knows how to go directly to the source of trouble, how to avoid wasted time and complications. The athlete learns how to conserve power and apply it now here, now there, how to utilize this muscle, rather than that. Is the writer different? I think not.”
– Ray Bradbury
