“Adobe Max 2009 day 2 key note. Covering CS4 work flow, Adobe Flash Catalyst previously Thermo all with the format of 007 James Bond starring Ben Forta. ”

Thermo, now CatalystPosted November 17th

“Catalyst, previously thermo just hit preview release. It is the goal to create the ultimate proffessional designer interaction program. It allows the designer to work not only with the skin, but with the user interaction, leaving the developer to focus on the interaction code. Today adobe gave out a pre alpha version to attendees. With the caviar that "undo" just started working in this version. A pad design comp can be brought into catalyst. As you do it renders the psd layers and element into mxml and a flex interface. The tool panels within catalyst are similiar to photoshop layers making it familiar to designers. You can add hit states almost like the imageready web buttons. FXP file format works in catalyst and flex 4. Even in this early version, it looks like there is a lot of potential. Enough that it is worth while to get developers and designers to start thinking about integrating into their work flow. ”

Adobe Max 2009Posted November 17th

“Back at Adobe Max 2009. This is the first year Sapient is an exhibitor at Adobe Max. It is definitley interesting to be on the other side of the booth here. For starters, showing up a day early to setup, making sure you have all your materials and cables is not so much fun. This year seems a little smaller than the last time i came. Of course that was at the Venetian. Heading into the keynote. The stage is a wall of screens, pretty impressive.

Celtics - Lakers Finals: Game 3Posted June 12th

“Building up to this series has been great. I said if the Celtics didn't make the Eastern Conference Finals the season would be a disappointment. They did not let me down. Watching every game was a heaven. Going from worst to first (the largest turn around in NBA history) was incredible. Watching them run thru the West (particularly the Texas sweep of Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston) gave us confidence. And then it was 2 seven game series thru the East. Living in LA has made it that much better. There has been a buzz and a little over confidence by Laker fans, those ridiculous car flags, and even the colors purple and gold, all bug the hell out of me. That with the fact every person at ESPN picked the Lakers (except Tim Legler). Then we won both games at home, with some help in game 2 from the refs. Going to LA you knew it was going to be close to impossible to win the first game. Our struggles on the road, compounded by the fact the refs would return the favor made it a long shot to win. It was a must win situation for the Lakers, which made it a great game. The Celtics lost, but that will not take away from my first NBA Finals game. A great experience overall.
