Adobe talks: the rest of the series

Posted on June 26, 2005 | Filed Under Technology

Earlier in the week I pointed to the first article in the “Adobe Talks” series we did on Macworld, but I neglected to point out the others. I figured I might as well do that now.

The series included interviews with the product managers for each application, as well as a detailed review. I was handling the interview and the “newsy” portion of the package.

So here they are if you want to read about Creative Suite 2:

Hot, hot and a dog show

Posted on June 26, 2005 | Filed Under Life

Our heat-wave hit yesterday as promised. The highs certainly didn’t disappoint as it went over 110º at times in the afternoon heat and humidity — unfortunately the promised respite didn’t materialize today.

Despite wide predictions of thunderstorms overnight a return to livable temperatures on Sunday, we are still sweltering in the heat and humidity. We went up to Monique’s parents house today to help her father with a printer problem and to hook up a stereo component for him. The kids took the time to go for a swim in their pool and cool off a bit, but their has been no relief for Monique and I.

After we left there, we stopped off at the local park to see a dog show. Actually it was more of an exhibition, all intended for fun, no real competition. Lots of cool dogs, although not a Border Collie in the mix at all — kind of strange considering how smart they are.

The dogs did relay races and agility competitions, darting in and out of obstacles. Some of course, did better than others, but it was a lot of fun watching. Unfortunately, we were in the heat for the hour or so we watched — I was just cooked by the time I got home, but it was worth it.

Everyone is doing there own thing right now, trying to cool down. I have another feature due tomorrow, so I’ve been working this weekend, but the break this afternoon was nice.
