Local Adobe CS3 Event

Posted on April 29, 2007 | Filed Under Local Happenings, Website Development

I attended a two hour demonstration of the new web-oriented features offered by Adobe’s CS3 products, including Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks, this past Wednesday at Vulcan Park.

We were fortunate to have two great, well-qualified presenters in Greg Rewis, the Worldwide Senior Evangelist for Web Tools for Adobe and Stephanie Sullivan, a Dreamweaver, accessibility, CSS and XHTML expert who recently contracted with Adobe to produce the new CSS Layout templates found in the CS3 release of Dreamweaver. Both of these folks are prominent heavy hitters and well respected in the field. Thank goodness Atlanta is just a two hour drive away! Read more

Time-lapse video fun

My two younger children have been involved in competitive gymnastics for the past five or so years. We’ve recently been involved (as parent volunteers) in getting a new gym off the ground, and I thought it would be fun to give time-lapse video a try while installing the various apparatuses. You can see the results after the break.

I haven’t had a chance to read blogs around town, but last week’s TechMixer was another big success from what I could tell. Several IT placement firms, user groups and local training and sales companies were represented.
