Friends who've known me a while know that I've always been a big fan of mentoring programs and owe most of the success I've been blessed with to the kindness and wisdom of others. My dad had a library of Earl Nightingale tapes, so I started listening to those young, setting goals and trying to develop a positive mental attitude. Several years ago, I joined TEC, The Executive Committee, which

I signed the contract to exhibit at the ASTD 2007 Conference and Expo yesterday. I'm a big fan of Jim Collins, who is one of the keynote speakers, so I'm looking forward to it. Adobe will also have a booth. If anyone needs a free expo-only pass, send us an email and we'll make sure you get one.

Ars Technica has an interesting article about how Bruce Chizen is hoping the EU will help Adobe in its fight against Microsoft. There are some interesting parallels and differences between Adobe's struggle against the Microsoft monopoly and those of others who've tried to take on Microsoft before. Like Netscape, it's not really disputable that Adobe pioneered innovation in the field of publishing

I met with Dan Margulis tonight at The Capital Grille. Capital Grille is a steak house chain along the lines of a Morton's or a Ruth's Chris, only in my opinion about an order of magnitude better. Dan just published the latest and final edition of Professional Photoshop: The Classic Guide to Color Correction, Fifth Edition (5th Edition). He didn't commit to how long he will continue training,

What D&D Character Are You? Sterling is a Neutral Good Elf Bard Alignment:Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.

We're switching to eFax to manage our registrations. It should help us find original paperwork much easier, and greatly ease administration and record-keeping in our organization. You can join their eFax Affiliate Program or if you want, just open a account using the link below ($9.00 for your first three months, then just $9.95 a month, much cheaper than a fax line).

EasyRGB is a great app that lets you put in a color and find a number of harmonic colors that go with it aesthetically, than match any of the resulting colors using Pantone, Sherwin Williams and a host of other color selection tools.
