March 20, 2007 | Seems to be more than just a film about a font. Seems to be more a film about the design process. On a side note, get your Hel-f***ing-vetica t-shirts here. (link) (#)
March 20, 2007 | It's nice if you want to know the real deal on travel destinations or what local spots to hit that might not warrant a mention in Fodors. Here's a complete itinerary if you want to drive the complete length of Route 66. Here's what to do in Nashville. (link) (#)
March 20, 2007 | I am curious to see what the reaction will be around this new delivery platform. Apollo has been referred to as the follow-up to Central, but it might be much more than that. Adobe describes Apollo has a new "cross-platform technology that lets web developers bring rich Internet applications to the desktop."
UPDATE: here's more from Kevin Lynch and the Adobe Edge newsletter.
UPDATE 2: Looking for more info? Here's an Apollo link-roundup from product manager Mike Downey. (link) (#)
March 15, 2007 | I love the way all the data overlays are properly oriented in 3d to the scene. (my god, did that sound as geeky to you as it does to me?) (link) (#)
March 15, 2007 | I've always been fascinated by Animation Mentor. It seems like a great online program that's facilitated by animators working at all the major studios, so you would seem to be getting total real world knowledge. And it doesn't seem to be just some free, cheesy online program. It's the real deal, 18 month enrollment is $15,000. (link) (#)
March 15, 2007 | As Adobe's Senior Product Manager for Apollo, he travels a lot I suppose and he's got some serious toys to help pass the time. (link) (#)
March 14, 2007 | Genius. And that probably explains a lot about why they're now considered one of the top retailers in the US. This is really a great behind-the-scenes look at their processes and their attention to detail. Also, it just again proves how they never stop innovating to stay one step ahead of the competition.

March 13, 2007 | But, actually, this one is pretty sweet. It lets you easily pick sets of matching colors, while also giving you the ability to preview those colors as seen by various forms of color blindness. A friend at work just reminded me about Adobe's Kuler, which is also a very nice color picker that is built if Flex and is also online. Kuler, which I may have already blogged on this site, sorry can't remember, is really cool in that you can share and rate other palettes. (link) (#)
March 13, 2007 | This looks pretty useful and seems to address one little quirk I've noticed before in that it's difficult to transition from a normal 2d layer that fills the comp, flies into 3d space and then fills the comp again. Usually, I can sort of tell that it doesn't really match up. Then I spend a lot of time fussing with scale and position properties. (link) (#)
March 13, 2007 | Pretty fun idea. You can use a bunch of their audio and video clips as stock material, give them proper credit at the end, then upload your video to share with other bsg geeks. (link) (#)
March 13, 2007 | In addition to a new graphical front-end, they've changed the focus of the site to make it more of a community-driven site containing tutorials and lessons for MT-powered sites. (link) (#)
March 12, 2007 | Also known as the ever-popular "grunge" look but with a bit of style. (link) (#)
March 11, 2007 | Apparently, getting to rub elbows Matt Groening and Meg Ryan is just one of the many TED perks for the creator of Delicious Library. His day zero post is here and is equally funny. (link) (#)
March 11, 2007 | As someone who started developing FMS apps this year, I'm super excited by the prospects of what Adobe has planned for Flash Media Server going forward. (link) (#)
March 5, 2007 | March 27th is the date for this new release for both Mac and PC. This is huge news for Mac users as this will, allegedly, include full intel-native versions of Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects. (link) (#)
