I had a blast of a day!

I got to go to two seminars today. At 1:30 this afternoon I went to Fountain Square, which is in a historical part of town with the Fountain Square Theater. Upstairs in that theater I got to attend another meeting of the Adobe CS Suite tour. The showing was put on by a local printer that I have contacts with, Mentzer, and there were only a few people there and they were giving away a full version of the suite valued at almost $1300.

Well, I didn’t get it go figure. But I was glad to go to that area of town and explore, and get some great photos. I uploaded just the one tonight.

While I am thinking of it, Thanks to my Aunt Pat. It is now 12:10 here, and I just remembered about www.woot.com. This is a site that sells overstock on all sorts of crazy stuff. It is a straight forward site, either say you want one and buy it, or don’t. But it has these outrageously funny captions and descriptions for the products.

Tonight it was a 3.2 Megapixel camera with docking station for only $99.00. Crazy!

Anyway. I have had a sore throat for two days now and need to get to bed.

While at the first conference, I heard from the guy who was the Adobe CS speaker that he was going to be doing a comparison type thing for Adobe Go Live vs. Macromedia Dreamweaver with a guy from Macromedia, tonight, at 6:30, for the AIGA at the Stutz building. My building!

I did some digging when I got back about the organization, to find out membership fees and stuff, and figured out that Chris and I could go at five bucks a pop. Our boss paid for it and we went from 6:30-8:30. So it was a long night. And the crappy thing was that the guy from Macromedia didn’t show up. We found out more stuff about Go Live (We both attended the CS Tour back in September when it came downtown, and heard all about the Suite in a half day seminar then), but don’t think it is feasible that we will just up and buy the CS suite and switch, it is too much of an investment turn around at this point.

But we were the only web guys there, so we were asking tons of questions while everyone else looked on blankly. And we got pizza. Questions and pizza. Fun.
