I call this space, "Beyond the Horizon" and that space is filled with technology, of course. I guess this is a form of social history.<br /><br />Today, I was amused, and annoyed to hear that Adobe has decided to feel the pressure of some of the online photo editing tools will provide <a href="http://www.news.com/8301-13580_3-9813680-39.html">one of their own</a>. After being forced to use Adobe PhotoShop in one of my graduate classes, I am comforted by the fact that they at least concede that there are other applications in our known universe. I am NOT giving up my love of <a href="http://www.picnik.com/">Picnik</a>. Period.<br /><br />I also read, on a genealogy blog, about the <a href="http://www.familytreemagazine.com/insider/PermaLink,guid,7b6d0e4c-6577-4d6d-b9cd-1e50d188b679.aspx">death of the phone book</a>. Yes, I know genealogy is all about life and death but this notice is of great interest to me. What am I going to use for a footrest if there are no phone books? Ah, the joys of being short.<br /><br />Later...btw, my phone books came today (4/16/08) tossed out the window of a car onto my driveway!Midge Frazelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05817669854967092840noreply@blogger.com
